For the Mind and Spirit Spring Cleansing: Healing for your Body and Mind Instructor: Adam Prinsen B.Sc., N.D. is a Naturopathic Doctor and graduate of The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. He has completed the Spiritual Lifestyle Program at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and the Mind/Body Medicine program at Harvard. He has practiced Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto at the Schad Naturopathic Clinic and Anishnawbe Health. Spring is a season of renewal and growth. A time in which our bodies release stored toxins and energies from the long winter. This is a powerful time to facilitate the natural cleansing process of our body. When we support this cleansing effort physically, emotionally and mentally we can access new levels of vitality, creativity and a sense of well-being. In this course we will learn how to move smoothly, gracefully and creatively through the current of spring so we can enter the summer season feeling renewed and ready for growth. Topics we will study include: The digestive process and the origin of toxins; The channels/organs of elimination; The process of health and disease; Foods and herbs which revitalize the body; Our own unique constitution, treatment and prevention of disease; Common patterns of imbalance and the support needed for healing; Connections between our mind and body; Tools to let go of emotions and transform them to positive feelings; and techniques to identify beliefs that can be limiting your experience of life. 6 Wednesday Evenings, 7:00-9:00pm Dates: May 11 to June 15

The Art and Craft of Travel Writing Instructor: Jonathan Bennett is a novelist, short story writer and poet. The author of three books, his writing has appeared in many periodicals and journals including: the Globe and Mail, Quill and Quire, Antipodes, and Descant. An experienced writing instructor, Jonathan is originally from Sydney, Australia. "Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown," wrote novelist E.M. Forester in his 1910 novel, Howard's End. "Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, and to them, alas, we return." While some travel to re-invent or refresh themselves, others take journeys to become wondrously lost. Yet for all there comes a day when we must turn homebound. This inescapable return is why so many of us write when we travel. To preserve experience, thoughts, sights, sounds, names, dates, feelings, and the essential change we undergo, we keep journals, scribble in notebooks, snap pictures, and write letters home. But must this raw material languish, forgotten in a drawer? Publishable travel writing happens not on the road, but back at home. Through re-writing and work-shopping, students will learn the art and craft of travel writing. They will learn how to turn rough journal entries and magical memories into moving narratives using elements of characterization, plot, dialogue, and research. Class Limit: 12 6 Thursday evenings, 7:00-9:00pm Dates: May 19 to June 23
