Disney 101
Since 1928, when Mickey Mouse 1st appeared, Walt Disney, and the company bearing his name, has made an enduring impact on the world of entertainment. From animation in film, television and merchandise and the establishment of the modern theme park, Disney is known to everyone throughout the world. This 8-session Summer class will give an overview of this history during Walt Disney's lifetime up until the present day and engage students in their own exploration of the Disney impact on the world. Students will hear from guest Disney-ologists and have an opportunity to discuss and share how the work of Walt Disney and his legacy has affected them personally. It would not be a surprise if their were not an expert among the students in the class that could teach something to the rest of us! History of Yoga
This course will explore the almost 2000-year-old practice that originated in India and has now become a household name in Western Countries. It has recently been reported that more than 20 million (!!) people in the United States do some form of yoga each year. We will explore questions around the practice, including: Is Yoga a religion? Can yoga heal you? Why do some doctors recommend yoga to their patients? This course will answer these questions and much more. We will review ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras, and explain how the words, mantras, and lessons within them are still used and relevant today. We will learn about the many different types of Yoga, including Hatha, Iyengar, Kundalini, and Yin Yoga and discuss what they are, where they came from, and their applications to physical and emotional health. Gentle physical practice will also be introduced and taught by a certified yoga instructor. |
Hobby Happiness
Discover your Hobby Happiness! In this class, students will explore their interests and how they can be expressed through various hobbies. Outside guests will come to class to share their hobby stories with students - why they like their hobby, how they got started and how they pursue the hobby today. Students will learn to think creatively with other curious learners about what they enjoy and how they can express their passions and interests. Learn a brand new skill! Meet new people and try different things! By the end of the course, each student will have a plan of how to get involved, or more involved, with their particular interest, and identify community venues and online resources to keep them engaged in their hobby. |
