How do we arrive at unbiased and well-informed opinions about issues?  The process of critical thinking can guide us to better decisions in every day life.  In the first of four sessions, we will examine and practice this method of clearer analysis.  Using the film as a starting point, we will examine how critical thinking is applied to jury deliberations.  Presented by Norm Isaacson, Valerie Lucznikowska and Roger Moss.

This course will include an in-depth exploration of mindfulness of the body as a path toward calm and connection to ourselves and others.

With mindfulness, we can step out of habitual reactions and find new ways to respond to ourselves and others. Each class will include guided mediation practice, teaching, and Q&A, as well as optional homework. The class consists of four sessions on April 3 and 17 and May 1 and 15.

Join us for a screening of the PBS Frontline documentary Chasing Heroin.  It is a searing, two-hour investigation placing America’s heroin crisis in a fresh and provocative light — telling the stories of individual addicts, but also illuminating the epidemic’s years-in-the-making social context, deeply examining shifts in U.S. drug policy, and exploring what happens when addiction is treated like a public health issue, not a crime.  Annie Colonna of Warwick Valley Prevention Coalition will host this event.
