October's focus will be Water, Optimize Health

In this class we will focus on Health Promotion and Lifestyle for wellness optimization.

Through open discussions and actively creating plans for healthier eating and lifestyle, each month will focus on how to begin making nutritional plans and lifestyle choices which we know can be a challenge for us. We hear to eat this, not that. Move this way not that way. This is bad for you. You must do this and go there. Old habits die hard. So where do you begin? Join us monthly and bring a notebook and folder for handouts as Sharon provides coaching to support you in your healthy living plan. 

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Creating a personal wellness plan and implementing daily-life changes
• Detox and the role of water
• Organ health eating plan
• Making healthier choices
• Environment and lifestyle influences
• Understanding inflammation
• Sleep, insomnia, and creating new habits for sound sleep
• The “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean Fifteen” food lists
• Keys to longevity, stress, mental and emotional  well being and more

What you think you know may have changed: check in and ask questions.

This one day class will meet on Monday, October 26 from 2 - 3 at River House (179 Marine St. in St. Augustine)

For ages 18 and up.

Though Savannah and New Orleans battle it out for which is the most haunted city in the United States, St. Augustine cannot be discounted just based on the centuries length of the city's existence. Ghost stories are a form of cultural history, people often use them to find a way to cope with grief or help make sense of unexplainable events.

Why do ghost tours, and other forms of dark tourism, take tragedies and romanticize them? Because it’s often easier for people to digest horrible history when presented in a fun “spooky” way. Therefore, the historical knowledge is passed forth, but it’s up to the person whether or not they want to confront the uncomfortable truth, or keep it as a fairytale.

In this talk, we will share tales from around the city learned through books, tours, and speaking to tourists, residents, and tour guides.

It was a turbulent decade filled with contrasts and the Broadway musical was no exception. The 1960s saw such diverse shows as Hello, Dolly! and Hair, Bye Bye Birdie and Fiddler on the Roof, and Mame and Man of La Mancha. We will be looking at such hits as A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, 1776, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Funny Girl, and Camelot, as well as several lesser known works. The class is part lecture, part watching scenes from these musicals and listening to some of the most memorable songs that came from them.
