Let’s chase away the winter chills with some hot tea. In this class, learn about the benefits of various herbal loose-leaf teas. You’ll also learn the art of mixing herbal tea leaves to make your own custom blend.

PLEASE NOTE: Although this is an in-person program, the instructor, Nikimbre Daniels, will join the event virtually. A library employee will be present as a host.

Claudia Ingraham will facilitate the Yoga Nidra (meditation) while gently playing crystal bowls, Tibetan ringing bowls and Koshi chimes in the background – finishing with a clearing gong bath to wash away what no longer serves you. Bring a mat, pillow and water bottle

The state of Yoga Nidra occurs when you can remain conscious during the deep sleep state. Yoga Nidra switches you out of fight or flight and into the relaxation response – you body’s natural healing state — where revitalization and regeneration naturally occur. Bring mats, pillows and blankets for your comfort on the carpet or in chairs as preferred. Experience deep serenity and relaxation in this interactive experience.
