Movie Night at the Community Centre

Join us for a special screening of The Apprentice, produced by Gambier resident Dan Bekerman. Released last year, the film received two Academy Award nominations and was featured in the main selection at the Cannes Film Festival.
Dan describes The Apprentice as a reflection of the impact of human-centered storytelling in a time of complex political dialogue.
The film offers a humanistic perspective rather than a partisan one and has received praise from voices across the political spectrum.
A discussion with Dan will follow the screening.

Yoga with Barb Crompton

Come and experience deep breathing practice lying on your back and stomach, using props to enhance your “letting go” of tension and tightness. Your restorative class is about muscles that need to be strengthen and stretched for good postures. Therefore we will focus on strengthening the core and upper back and stretching the chest, back and hip muscles to support your spine and improve your posture. In the class your mind will slow down, reflecting on the sensations in your body and the calmness of your being. You will leave the class feeling rejuvenated, restored and revitalized.
