SUMMARY:Investment Group
DESCRIPTION:Bring your questions and concerns to the Litchfield Investing Group meeting on the third Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM. \nInvesting does not need to be complex or uncertain. Learn to manage your own investments whether you have $1\,000 or $1\,000\,000 using publicly available computerized investing methods for a fraction of the cost of a professional money manager with returns consistently better than the S&P 500 or the Aggregate Bond Index. All while having a life beyond investing and sleeping soundly. \nA professional money manager will charge 0.75% to 1.5% of your assets to manage a $500\,000 account\, but is not interested in managing lesser amounts. Robo-advisors charge 0.08% to 1.5% depending on account size and services to manage your account and can manage accounts as small as $100. \nThe methods discussed require only a computer\, no specialized investing knowledge\, average intelligence\, access to the internet\, and the self-discipline to follow proven methods.

SUMMARY:Holding Space for the Heart: A Grief Yoga Workshop (Nov 22nd)
DESCRIPTION:Holding Space for the Heart\nA Grief Yoga Workshop for the Holiday Season\nCost: $45.00 – half of the proceeds to benefit the Community Center. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nGrief during the holidays can feel especially heavy — like the world is celebrating while your heart is quietly aching. This workshop is a place where you don’t have to hide that pain. It’s a safe space to be with what’s real\, to becomes aware of your emotions\, to move gently through them\, and to remember: you are not alone. \nHolding Space for the Heart is a two-hour Grief Yoga® experience rooted in breath\, movement\, sound\, and stillness — designed to help you soften into your grief\, release what you’re carrying\, and open your heart to connection\, love\, and inner strength. \nGrief Yoga®\, developed by Paul Denniston\, is a healing modality\, not about physical flexibility\, but about emotional liberation. Grief Yoga is for anyone navigating loss\, change\, or heartbreak\, and it welcomes all bodies and levels of experience. \nDuring our time together\, you’ll be invited to:\n~ Begin with a brief guided journaling session (journal provided)\n~ Learn how Grief Yoga works to support emotional release and resilience\n~ Move through a 60-minute Grief Yoga practice using breath\, movement and sound\n~ Rest in a short\, guided meditation to ground and restore\n~ Share\, reflect\, or simply listen during an optional closing circle \nNo yoga experience is necessary. Practice may be done on a yoga mat or in a chair. All bodies\, all emotions\, and all experiences of grief are welcome. \n  \nUrsula Daiber\, 500 RYT + 100 RYT Grief Yoga\, discovered yoga in 2011 as a break from high-energy fitness classes\, unaware it would become a profound part of her healing journey. Diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in December 2003\, Ursula had already been on a spiritual path when yoga entered her life. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and her 300-hour vinyasa training with Rolf Gates at beYOGA Danbury in 2023. Together\, these certifications earned her the 500-hour RYT designation through Yoga Alliance. After losing both of her parents during her 300-hour training\, Ursula deepened her healing work through Grief Yoga®. She completed a 100-hour certification with Grief Yoga® founder Paul Denniston and now offers monthly Grief Yoga® classes and\nspecialized workshops designed to support individuals navigating loss. Her teaching emphasizes compassion\, presence\, and creates a safe space for emotional release and connection through movement\, breath\, and sound. In addition to her grief-focused offerings\, Ursula teaches weekly yoga classes for employees and volunteers at Middlesex Health in Middletown. She also offers private\, semi-private\, group\, and corporate sessions. \nTo learn more or to schedule a session\, you can reach her at ursuladaiber@aol.com

SUMMARY:Holding Space for the Heart: A Grief Yoga Workshop (Dec 8th)
DESCRIPTION:Holding Space for the Heart\nA Grief Yoga Workshop for the Holiday Season\nCost: $45.00 – half of the proceeds to benefit the Community Center. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nGrief during the holidays can feel especially heavy — like the world is celebrating while your heart is quietly aching. This workshop is a place where you don’t have to hide that pain. It’s a safe space to be with what’s real\, to becomes aware of your emotions\, to move gently through them\, and to remember: you are not alone. \nHolding Space for the Heart is a two-hour Grief Yoga® experience rooted in breath\, movement\, sound\, and stillness — designed to help you soften into your grief\, release what you’re carrying\, and open your heart to connection\, love\, and inner strength. \nGrief Yoga®\, developed by Paul Denniston\, is a healing modality\, not about physical flexibility\, but about emotional liberation. Grief Yoga is for anyone navigating loss\, change\, or heartbreak\, and it welcomes all bodies and levels of experience. \nDuring our time together\, you’ll be invited to:\n~ Begin with a brief guided journaling session (journal provided)\n~ Learn how Grief Yoga works to support emotional release and resilience\n~ Move through a 60-minute Grief Yoga practice using breath\, movement and sound\n~ Rest in a short\, guided meditation to ground and restore\n~ Share\, reflect\, or simply listen during an optional closing circle \nNo yoga experience is necessary. Practice may be done on a yoga mat or in a chair. All bodies\, all emotions\, and all experiences of grief are welcome. \n  \nUrsula Daiber\, 500 RYT + 100 RYT Grief Yoga\, discovered yoga in 2011 as a break from high-energy fitness classes\, unaware it would become a profound part of her healing journey. Diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in December 2003\, Ursula had already been on a spiritual path when yoga entered her life. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and her 300-hour vinyasa training with Rolf Gates at beYOGA Danbury in 2023. Together\, these certifications earned her the 500-hour RYT designation through Yoga Alliance. After losing both of her parents during her 300-hour training\, Ursula deepened her healing work through Grief Yoga®. She completed a 100-hour certification with Grief Yoga® founder Paul Denniston and now offers monthly Grief Yoga® classes and\nspecialized workshops designed to support individuals navigating loss. Her teaching emphasizes compassion\, presence\, and creates a safe space for emotional release and connection through movement\, breath\, and sound. In addition to her grief-focused offerings\, Ursula teaches weekly yoga classes for employees and volunteers at Middlesex Health in Middletown. She also offers private\, semi-private\, group\, and corporate sessions. \nTo learn more or to schedule a session\, you can reach her at ursuladaiber@aol.com
