Learn To Meditate: Tame the Wild Horse of Your Mind
Learn To Meditate: Tame the Wild Horse of Your Mind
With Rosie Bleyer
Meditation has multiple purposes and effects. By quieting the mind and relaxing through breath awareness, the heart rate slows, allowing you to let go of thoughts that arise. With practice you will experience lessened anxiety and emotional reactivity.
In our fast-paced world, our minds are often stuck in "doing" mode—rushing from one task to the next, worrying about the future, or dwelling on the past. This 8-session course is designed to help you shift into "being" mode, providing you with a sustainable toolkit to navigate life’s challenges with grace and steady focus.
Bring your meditation cushion or mat if desired. Chairs will be available.
Offerings collected and much appreciated.

Travels With Missie: The Photographs
Travels With Missie: The Photographs
Kevin O’Hara of Pittsfield will share his images and humorous anecdotes of his timeless and extraordinary journey around Ireland.
His first book, “Last of the Donkey Pilgrims” chronicles his nine-month, 1,720-mile journey around the Emerald Isle with his lovable (but sometimes stubborn) donkey, Missie, in 1979.
Library Journal called his beloved travel saga, “One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written.” In 2012, The Christian Science Monitor ranked “Donkey” as one of Irelands Top Ten Books. That same year, O’Hara was the proud recipient of the prestigious John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Award.

Sashiko Hand-Stitching Basics
Sashiko Hand Stitching Workshop
With Rachel Barclay
All Skill Levels Welcome!
Sashiko is a Japanese mending and embroidery handwork skill which uses a simple running stitch to create bold and geometric patterns on textiles. The stitching tradition has been used for centuries in Japan, and continues globally, as a contemporary needlework practice to mend, patch, strengthen, quilt, and embellish garments or home goods for longevity and beauty. With focus on exploration of the craft, workshop participants will learn how to handle thread, layout a grid, draw patterns, employ a Sashiko needle, and use “small stabs” to stitch designs onto their mini-patch samplers.
Sashiko patterns are inspired by nature, architecture, and culture. Students will choose from a variety of motifs that suit their design aesthetic and comfort level; tiny plus signs, woven tortoise, ocean waves, and seven treasures to name a few. The stitched squares can later be transformed into purposeful, small goods such as a pocket, pin cushion, patch, sachet, or coaster.
All skill levels are welcome whether a novice stitcher or experienced fiber artist! Everyone will work at their own pace. Bring your good reading glasses! There will be a break halfway through the workshop. Feel free to bring snacks or a lunch and beverage.

Sean McCusker Live Painting Demo
Sean McCusker will be demonstrating the techniques that make his work a unique fixture of the Berkshires arts scene. Landscapes full of contrast and color, his glazed oil paintings express a mysterious drama that is unmistakable.
Sean’s paintings are made up of roughly thirty thin, transparent layers, each one adding complexity. As the layers are carefully worked up the composition's forms and colors become more contrasted, more dramatic. The translucent layers create a glowing composition of dark shadows suspended in light.
For over 20 years Sean has developed his oil glazing technique and is excited to share with you all of the tips and tricks that have helped him hone his craft. Each session will show the development of a new layer on a work in progress, so participants can see the work develop from sketch to finished work of art.
Demonstrations start at 1pm every Sunday from October 5th to December 21st, 2025.
