TED Talks Discussion Group
Mondays, 12:30 p.m.
In 1984, TED Talks were created to bring technology, entertainment and design information to the curious and open-minded public. These videos cover a wide array of subjects and always lead to lively discussion and conversation. Casual TED Talks group meetings are held every Monday for one hour. Attendees will view one of these videos and follow with a discussion. The program is free.

Sound Bath
Wednesday, June 18, 2:15 p.m.
In this magical and relaxing hour, participants will be led by Crystal Lee to experience the sound waves from crystal bowls. The waves 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. Individuals may sit in a chair or lie down for this session. Advance registration is requested.

Hiking With Lisa
Friday, June 20, 10:30 a.m.
Individuals are invited to join in this summer for some great physical fitness opportunities outside. On June 20, the group will hike Peppercorn Hill, which has rocky terrain and is approximately 2 miles in length to reach a scenic lookout spot. Advance registration is requested.

Online Language Learning With Mango
Wednesday, June 25, 10-11 a.m.
In this program from the Hopkinton Public Library, librarian Danielle Wolber will discuss Mango, a phone app and website that individuals can use for free with their library card. Mango can help someone learn a wide variety of languages or brush up on a language that they used to know. Learning a new language is a fun and engaging way to exercise one’s brain, meet new people and learn about the world.
