Movement Therapy with BollyX

Sound Bath
Wednesday, June 24, 2:15 p.m.
In this magical and relaxing hour, Crystal Lee will lead participants in experiencing the sound waves from crystal bowls. They are meant to synchronize brain wave frequencies, fostering deep relaxation and a tranquil mind, which may ease anxiety, manage stress and support a balanced mood. Attendees should bring a yoga mat, pillow and blanket, and may sit or lie down for this session. Advance registration is required, as space is limited.

Felted Hummingbird with Pop Up Art School
Thursday, June 25, 1-2:30 p.m.
Participants will learn the art of two-dimensional needle felting in this hands-on class in partnership with Pop Up Art School. The workshop offers a relaxed approach to exploring fiber art as crafters create a hummingbird and flower scene. Instruction includes the basic skills of needle felting. Registration is required, as space is limited. This program is supported by a grant from the Hopkinton Cultural Council.
