Restorative Yoga
with Jaime-Lyn Gaudet
Monday, April 7, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
This evening class will combine the meditative qualities of a slow flow and the deep nourishment of a restorative practice. Beginning with a slow and intentional flow to move stagnant energy, we will then shift toward longer held, fully supported, restorative postures to foster quiet and calm in both mind and body. During this practice, we will cultivate a sense of steadiness and ease within, as we move into a more quiet and still space. All are welcome, from beginner to seasoned practitioner, for this hour of self care.
Props
Yoga mat
Blanket (a yoga blanket, or any firm blanket will work)
Bolster or pillow(s)
2 yoga blocks
Yoga strap (or scarf)
Registration Cost
Tier B $20 (cost to run the class)
Tier C $15 (reduced price)
Did you know that when you select the “Pay-it-Forward” price for any of our programs the Cummings Foundation matches those funds? A little extra goes a LONG way!

Signs of Spring Photo Walk
with Sue D’Arcy Fuller
Sunday, April 13, 4:30 – 6:30 pm
Join photographer and Wright-Locke Farm educator Sue D’Arcy Fuller in an informative and fun late afternoon photo walk during the golden hour (the hour before sunset) on Wright Locke Farm!
Slow down and experience the farm and woods through your own creative vision with new friends.
The first 30 minutes will be spent discussing photographic composition, lighting, shadow and ideas to bring new perspectives to your photography. We will then get outside to photograph at various planned stops.
This time, we’ll head into the woods to look for budding plant life and to photograph the vernal pools as the afternoon light streams in. If we are lucky, we’ll be accompanied by the sound of the spring peepers that are just emerging.
We’ll also spend time photographing the interior and exterior of the historic 1827 barn. Of course, you’ll also be able to take candid portraits of the chickens and goats.
On this walk, we will emphasize photographing during the time of light change before and leading up to sunset at the farm. Again, photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend!
It will not be a strenuous walk, but participants should be able to walk in the woods a little over 1 mile on trails with uneven terrain.
Dress and Gear
Make sure to dress appropriately for the forecasted weather at the time of the class.
Any type camera is welcome, digital or film, including phones. All skill levels and camera types from film to digital including phones (please note: you should have a working knowledge of your camera).
