In a Chicago junk shop, three men plot to rob a man of his coin collection, the showpiece of which is a valuable “Buffalo nickel.” These high-minded grifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise. But Donny, the oafish junk shop owner, Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken under his wing, and “Teach,” a violently paranoid braggart, are merely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.

The New Milford Farmers Market will be in the Parish Hall of St. John's Episcopal Church, 7 Whittlesey Avenue, New Milford.

This class introduces dancers to the foundational principles of the Martha Graham Technique, emphasizing core elements such as contraction and release, spiral, opposition, and the dynamic use of weight. Through floor work, standing exercises, and center combinations, participants will explore the expressive power and physicality of this iconic modern dance technique, building strength and artistry.

Creative Movement Study

This portion of the workshop explores creating movements and phrases inspired by gesture, incorporating key elements of the Graham Technique: contraction and release, opposition, shifts of weight, and fall and recovery.

Oliver Tobin is a former dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, where he performed leading roles in Appalachian Spring, Clytemnestra, Diversion of Angels, El Penitente, and Embattled Garden, among others. His off-Broadway acting credits include The Kentucky Cycle, The Lesser Magoo, Nirvanov, and Tallahassee.

The Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect rests on the notion that the world is deeply interconnected, such that one small occurrence can influence a much larger complex system. Small things matter, and we are all connected to a bigger system.

A small gesture of kindness, a smiling face, a helping hand, could all make a difference in somebody’s life.

These simple examples are a part of a bigger picture and if we can just focus and pay more attention to these little details, we may be able to make our lives and the lives of others so much better.

• Compliment the first three people you talk to today.
• Send a positive text message to five different people.
• Donate old towels or blankets to an animal shelter.
• Let someone go in front of you in line.
• Try to make sure every person in a group conversation feels included.
• Smile at five strangers.
• When you're throwing something away, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
• Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone's entire day. Don't just think it. Say it.
• Put your phone away while in the company of others.
• Post inspirational sticky notes around your school or workplace.
• Say hi to the person next to you.
• Write a positive comment on your favorite blog, website, or friend's social media account.
• Everyone is important. Learn the names of the people you see every day. Greet them by name. Say "hello" to strangers and smile.
• When you hear that discouraging voice in your head, tell yourself something positive - you deserve kindness too!

These acts of kindness are so easy, and they almost always make people smile.

• Try to make sure every person in a group conversation feels included.
• Smile at five strangers.
• When you're throwing something away, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
• Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone's entire day. Don't just think it. Say it.
• Put your phone away while in the company of others.
• Post inspirational sticky notes around your school or workplace.
• Say hi to the person next to you.
• Write a positive comment on your favorite blog, website, or friend's social media account.
• Everyone is important. Learn the names of the people you see every day. Greet them by name. Say "hello" to strangers and smile.
• When you hear that discouraging voice in your head, tell yourself something positive - you deserve kindness too!

These acts of kindness are so easy, and they almost always make people smile.

Let Dawn guide you through gentle yoga moves that are perfect for all levels. Learn breathing and relaxation techniques to take off the mat and out into the real world. Enjoy some stretching and leave class feeling calm and rejuvenated! 

Dawn will then lead you through a gentle, slow flow yoga planned carefully to help the body and mind release tension. Modifications are offered during all classes so that new students as well as seasoned yogis or yoginis can benefit from this nurturing practice.

Breathing techniques designed to alleviate stress both on and off the mat (in the real world, where let's face it most stress happens) will be taught and practiced.

Classes will incorporate the principles of mediation and mindfulness. The goal of this class is that you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and centered when you leave class. Additionally these skills can often help you to manage situational stress/anxiety/tension as it occurs once you step off your mat and head back into the real world.

Care for self, family, friends, communit

In a Chicago junk shop, three men plot to rob a man of his coin collection, the showpiece of which is a valuable “Buffalo nickel.” These high-minded grifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise. But Donny, the oafish junk shop owner, Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken under his wing, and “Teach,” a violently paranoid braggart, are merely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.

The Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect rests on the notion that the world is deeply interconnected, such that one small occurrence can influence a much larger complex system. Small things matter, and we are all connected to a bigger system.

A small gesture of kindness, a smiling face, a helping hand, could all make a difference in somebody’s life.

These simple examples are a part of a bigger picture and if we can just focus and pay more attention to these little details, we may be able to make our lives and the lives of others so much better.

• Compliment the first three people you talk to today.
• Send a positive text message to five different people.
• Donate old towels or blankets to an animal shelter.
• Let someone go in front of you in line.
• Try to make sure every person in a group conversation feels included.
• Smile at five strangers.
• When you're throwing something away, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
• Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone's entire day. Don't just think it. Say it.

S.T.A.R. PUPPY - Tuesdays, 5:00-5:50 PM

The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The S.T.A.R. puppy program includes the following: basic puppy-raising information (jumping, house training, nipping...), basic obedience skills, how to better communicate and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership. This program is designed for dogs less than 7 months in age who have not had any prior group experience.

TWEENER - Tuesdays, 6:00-6:50 PM

Is your dog 7 months or older and never attended a basic obedience class? Then this is the group class for you! The Tweener class will cover all basic obedience skills (including how to infuse these skills as part of everyday life), how to better communicate with and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership.

*This is not a reactive dog class. Each dog needs to be privately evaluated by the instructor.

Basic Obedience 1 - Thursdays, 5:00-5:50 PM

Has your dog completed the prerequisite class of either the S.T.A.R. Puppy or Tweener Class and you're looking for the next level of training? Then this is the group class for you! The Basic Obedience 1 class takes the skills learned in the Star Puppy / Tweener Class to the next level. We revisit all the skills you have learned - increasing difficulty and reliability of performance. This fun class uses games which support teaching our dogs good manners while having fun at the same time!!

Basic Obedience 2 - Thursdays, 6:00-6:50 PM

If you have completed  the prerequisite class Basic Obedience 1 and want to start preparing for the Canine Good Citizen class - then this is the group for you. This class focuses on enhancing your leash work skills, how to increase your dog's ability to follow cues with various levels of distractions, as well as how to start getting more behavior for less rewards. You will also learn how to teach your dog to listen to cues from a distance rather than just right in front of you.

Together, with Life Coach Brianna Moura, we will create a goal that is specific to something you are currently working on. We will develop a plan in order to turn the goal into reality! In this empowering first session, we will work together to create a specific goal tied to something you are passionate about or currently working on. You will gain clarity on your objective, uncover potential obstacles, and develop a personalized plan to make your goal attainable. We will address what's standing in your way and set you up for success in the year ahead! 

Consistency is key to turning goals into achievements. In this follow-up session, we will check in on your progress, discuss what's working, and identify areas where adjustments are needed. You'll walk away with actionable strategies to stay on track and keep moving toward your goal—no matter what challenges arise! Sign up for both sessions separately-- March 4 and April 1.

Gospel Groundwork is a 5-week course that takes you through the 5 basics of Christianity. Through this course, you will be paired with a Gospel Groundwork Coach who will be with you every step of the way to help explain some of the course material as well as answer any questions you may have. Gospel Groundwork is a perfect "next step" after you make the decision to follow Christ, but is also a good course for those who may have been saved for a while, but want to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and have a firmer understanding of what it means to follow Him.
