Monday Mindfulness for Teens (Main)
CALLING ALL TEENS: learn to meditate, share your experiences, and build community with others. Meditation can be a profound skill to find more ease, joy, and spaciousness in your life. It can also help make the world more livable, just, and peaceful. Come check this out!
About the presenter: Hey everyone! My name is Charles FitzGibbon, and I’m excited to be offering this space for teens to learn to meditate. A little bit about me, I love to learn! I'm a curious person who loves to learn from nature, from other people (like you!), and through meditation. I've been a teacher and a mental health counselor and I live in Somerville with my partner and our cat.
This event is intended for teens ages 14-18. No registration required.

[Make-up Class] Smartphone Photography [55+] (Main)
We live in an age where we carry our smartphones everywhere we go. Built into this device is a camera that can help us document the world around us. Whether it’s taking family portraits, beautiful landscapes, or in some cases the meal we just sat down to eat, we’re all constantly taking photos. This 12-week class will not only teach you to take the best possible photos, but how to edit your photos to make them look as good as they possibly can. We will also cover how to organize the photos on your phone. We will learn how to become visual storytellers through projects I'll assign each week followed by thoughtful group discussions of your photos. You need only bring two things to this class: your smartphone and your imagination
