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:Baking with Puff Pastry
DESCRIPTION:Cooking class with Chef Charlene Dutka of Ciesco Catering. \n  \nCharlene Goodman Dutka lives in Goshen with her husband Ed\, youngest son Matthew\, and three rescue dogs. She was born and raised in Torrington in an Italian-American family. Her grandmother prepared food with love\, often using ingredients from her grandfather’s garden. \nCharlene started collecting cookbooks and reading them like novels at a young age. When time allowed\, she continually experimented in the kitchen while pursuing her corporate career and raising four children. \nOver ten years ago\, Charlene took a leap of faith to open Ciesco Catering\, which was named in honor of her maternal grandparents. Like her grandmother\, Charlene prepares food with love. \nDenise Pastore Ciesco lives in North Granby with her husband\, Gary\, and their two horses. She was born in Torrington and raised in an Italian-American family\, relocating to Italy with her family as a teenager. Denise immersed herself in Italian culture while celebrating traditional American Holidays with family and friends. The consummate hostess\, Denise’s dinners were always famous among anyone who knew her. \nWhen Denise’s two children were grown\, she and her former spouse\, who was in the construction business\, built and owned a resort with two restaurants. Denise would ask her world-renowned chefs for tips and ideas and continues incorporating this knowledge into her recipes. \nDenise and Charlene met shortly after the catering company opened through Charlene’s cousin\, Denise’s husband. They are cousins in every way possible. Together\, they create unique menu items while having fun—sometimes too much fun with a dash of mischief. \nClick here to Register

SUMMARY:Live\, Learn\, Lunch: Christmasses Past
DESCRIPTION:12:00 Light Lunch will be served \n12:30 Presentation \nChristmas’ Past – A nostalgic look at how we celebrated the holiday\nSince colonial times\, America has celebrated Christmas\, often with a feast and a simple decoration of\nevergreens and fruit. The kissing ball was a common colonial festive decoration. Large-scale Christmas\ndecorations were slow to take hold in England and North America\, where even in the mid-1800s\, only a\nfew American homes had Christmas trees. Franklin Pierce was the first president to have a Christmas\ntree in the White House in 1853.\nSince then\, Christmas trees and Christmas decorations have become an important holiday symbol. Real\ncandles on trees were replaced by electric lights\, which became widely available in the early 1900s. Little\nvillages\, initially glittered cardboard candy boxes shaped like little houses\, surrounded our Christmas\ntrees. Ornaments were made in the home and imported from Germany and later Japan. They came in all\ntypes of materials\, too. Join us for a 50-minute time travel to an earlier era of family celebration\,\nremembering Christmas trees\, tinsel\, ornaments\, and how we lit our trees in our nostalgic story of\nChristmas past. \nSpeaker Bio:\nJohn Cilio is a fascinating historical storyteller\, author\, and researcher who has been captivating\naudiences with his tales of the past for over 15 years. As a proud member of the Organization of\nAmerican Historians and the Association for the Study of Connecticut History\, and the Connecticut\nLeague of Museums. John has shared his knowledge through numerous articles in national magazines\nand newspapers. Through his captivating storytelling and in-depth research\, John Cilio continues to\ninspire and educate. Prepare to be transported through time and experience history through period\nstories and vintage photographs. \nClick Here to Register

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.
