West African Drumming comes to Dedham Square!

New class at Creative Adventures for Adults and children ages 5 - 11.
   We are thrilled to have Jafar Manselle teaching for us on Wednesday
afternoons beginning September 10th.

4:15p.m. for children ages 5 - 7

5:15p.m. for children ages 8 - 11

6:15p.m. for adults


This class is designed to introduce adults/children to the world of
drumming. Using movement, call & response, songs, West African drums
and other percussion instruments adults/children will have the
opportunity to explore their innate sense of rhythm in a
non-performance setting.  Students will learn authentic rhythms from
West Africa and the Caribbean.


Drumming in groups can boost the immune system, according to a study
published in the journal ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES.  To read more about
the study and to register visit www.CreateYourAdventures.com and start
drumming to a more vibrant you!

Hi ladies,
I just signed up for Healthworks Brookline! They have
a nice promo going with no initiation fees, and July
and August are free with a 12-month commitment. So,
now I'm hoping to get some perks from their member
referral program. If anyone wants to join within the
next month, let me know. We can both get $5 or $10 off
monthly rates, depending on the location you join.

Happy workouts!

Hi Ladies!

This is great to see. I work part time at the Healthworks in
Cambridge. I wish I could give you guys some kind of deal but I can't.
However, keep searching for your perks!

Have a great weekend!

Hey ladies,
I am considering joining Healthworks in Brookline, and
was wondering if anyone would like to get some member
referral perks by saying you referred me (if you're a
current member, that is!).

Well, let me know if you're interested.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Due to the severe weather warning that is in effect until later this
evening, the Luna Chix have decided to cancel tonight's weekly run
down by the Charles. We're sorry to have to do so, but with the
unpredictable weather we'd like to err on the side of safety - running
individually closer to home may be a better option for today!

We look forward to seeing you at next week's run!  Have a great
holiday weekend.

Best,
Kelli

On Monday , July  21st actor and Artistic Director Lyralen Kaye, brings her
New York Meisner training to Boston in this one evening workshop that provides
an
introduction to Meisner theory as well as hands-on practice in the famous
repetition
exercise.


Introduction to the Meisner Technique
Taught by: Lyralen Kaye
Monday, July 21st 6:30 - 9:30
1 workshop of 3 hours: $60.00
Open to ages sixteen - adults
Held at Creative Adventures 599 High Street Dedham Square
Workshop is limited to 12 participants


The Meisner approach, centered on the famous repetition exercise, teaches actors
how to"live truthfully under imaginary circumstances." Both rigorous and
profoundly
simple, it is a technique designed to help actors discover new levels of
authenticity and
true
emotion. Taught widely in New York and L.A., it is a necessity in film work and
in truly
connected theater.

Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather.

The Boston run team will be hosting a Chi Running Clinic which is aimed at
teaching you how to effectively use your core during running.  Hopefully this
clinic will help you run with greater ease and keep you injury free (check out
chirunning.com for more on what Chi Running is all about).

The clinic will take place at 6:30 on 6/25 at Danahey Park in Cambridge and last
approximately two hours.  We will be bringing in a certified Chi Running
instructor for this event, which means that we need a fairly firm commitment for
all attendees.

We are asking that clinic attendees make a voluntary contribution to our charity
the Breast Cancer Fund, which is a non-profit organization that works to
identify and eliminate the environmental causes of the disease.

We'll bring Luna Sport products and other goodies, you bring yourselves!

Please e-mail me at amlee2ma@... if you have any questions or would like
to attend. Hope to see you at the Wednesday Night Runs and/or the clinic.

Anne

The problem with trying to command rebels is that they so quickly reject
authority.

Hi, Chix...

I recently volunteered at the National Braille Press, and found out
about a really cool event.  It's called the Vision 5k.  It's a 5k Run &
Walk in Boston (Fens area) on June 7th, at 10am.  It's $25 (cash/check)
or $28 (credit card) if you register before May 23rd.  They also have a
kids fun run for $5.  The proceeds go to various programs to help the
blind.  They have a really cool optional challenge where you sign up
with a partner and one of you runs the course blindfolded, and the
other is your guide (you are tethered together to prevent injury with a
wrist cord).  Personally I'd love to try that!  Unfortunately I am
going to be out of town that weekend, but I thought some of the Chix
might be interested as well.  You can register on their website:
www.vision5k.org

They sent me a bunch of brochures and stuff to with some information.
Let me know if you want me to send you one (I can scan it and send it
as a .pdf file).

Janie

I just got an Email from a friend of mine who said that HER friend
registered for the Run to Remember 1/2 Marathon this weekend, but isn't
able to make it and is selling her race number for $35.  If you were
looking to run this race, and are looking for a number, let me know.

Janie

Hi Anne,

I'll be there for the brunch, and I'll bring some muffins.  Thanks for
the invite!

Allison

short distance from the hynes or central square t station)

to running and look forward to meeting you soon.
