Crystal Sound Healing

 Wednesday, January 17th at 1 PM @ Lyme Library

Join us in welcoming Priscilla Gale, who will be here to present and demonstrate the impact that sound has on our bodies and how it can help us in healing ourselves. “If given the opportunity, the body is genetically pre-programmed to be a self healing instrument, holding within our bones, blood, emotional and ethic bodies the harmonious vibrational memory that is the organizational patterning for perfect health.  When we seek that direct connection of our own individual vibration so as to resonate in concert with the symphonic resonances of the Universe, we transform our personal experiences and begin the journey of healing as we come into balance and harmony with our highest purpose. Priscilla’s dedication and powerful commitment, meets each individual person and their needs right where they are.” This event is free for members, 55 years of age or better.

Movie Monday: School of Rock

Monday, January 8th at 1 PM @ The Lyme Library

Overly enthusiastic guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) gets thrown out
of his bar band and finds himself in desperate need of work. Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite private elementary school, he exposes his students to the hard rock gods he idolizes and emulates –much to the consternation of the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). As he gets his privileged and precocious charges in touch with their inner rock ‘n’ roll animals, he imagines redemption at a local Battle of the Bands! This event is free for members, 55 years of age or better!
