The Writers Studio
Advanced Class
Mondays, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
January 9 through March 12
Eleanor Kedney
Meets once weekly for 10 weeks. By preregistration only. In this Advanced Class, students are encouraged to recognize their own strengths and limitations as writers so that they may consciously develop narrators, and consequently a writing style, that is uniquely suited to them. The goal of this class is to help students discover a way of writing that can be sustained throughout their lives. Students at this level, while continuing to do exercises from the Craft Class, routinely complete poems and stories to submit for publication, and work toward creating a book-length manuscript. Teachers in The Writers Studio school also participate in this workshop. Open only to students who have completed the Intermediate Workshop and by permission of the teacher. For more information, visit www.writerstudio.com or contact Eleanor Kedney at 520-743-8214 or eleanor(at)writerstudio(dot)com.
Understand Men 101
Topic Talk
Every Tuesday in December and January, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Carrie Zamora
Gain essential insights into the fascinating and fulfilling similarities and differences between men and women! Each week we discuss a topic such as listening, the effects of attraction, psychological safety, interactions of the physical and emotional, and other important aspects of why men do what they do – how they think, act, speak, and listen – and how to work with it instead of being frustrated by it. Isn’t it time to have ease, connection, and adoration with the men in your life? Demystify the opposite gender and inspire the behavior you want. These sessions are fun and immediately useful to both men and women. Your partner is going wonder what the heck happened to you – and love it! We address a new topic each week. FREE. For more information, please visit www.UnderstandMen101.com or call Carrie Zamora, PAX Programs affiliate, at 520-247-4110.
COMING NEXT SPRING:
Breath is the Key to Good Health
Wednesday ____ (TBD), 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Robert Litman
Many people don’t realize that the way they breathe can aggravate their medical conditions. People with asthma, allergies, anxiety and sleep disorders can learn a proven safe and effective way to improve breathing fitness. The Buteyko Institute Breathing Method controls symptoms without drugs by correcting the blood gas imbalance caused by breathlessness, difficulty breathing, or the hidden hyperventilation of those who are chronically stressed. Easily mastered breathing exercises help regulate oxygen levels and restore normal breathing patterns; they also help recovery from colds or flu and help manage hyperventilation, allergies, sleep apnea or anxiety attacks. Discover how and why the physician-developed Buteyko Breathing Method can quickly change distressed breathing habits that negatively affect health. Receive an overview of the complete method and its benefits. Learn new breathing tips that can be immediately put to use. Robert Litman, founder of The Breathable Body, has worked in health and health education since 1988, teaching anatomy and physiology as well as maintaining a private practice in movement and breath education. Please see www.asthmafreearizona.com and www.buteyko.info or call Robert at 326-9775 for more information. FREE. Pre-registration requested.
