5. Healthy Weight & Lifestyle Course
Live Authentically – Healthy Weight & Lifestyle Course is a 30-hour playful course that is designed to help you to discover your inner potential and to gain insight into the big questions in life such as “Who am I? and “How can I create the life I want?” It will be held at the Cavendish Town Elementary School in Proctorsville, VT on Wednesday nights from 6:00-9:00 p.m. beginning June 23rd and ending September 1st. Fee is $300.

Creativity in the classroom will be inspired by using humor, games, collage, and journaling as we explore topics that include communication, values, strengths, personality, time, stress, money, intentions, and goals and how they relate to weight and living a healthy lifestyle. This course works well in combination with other weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers or Curves

You will complete the course with a new awareness of who you are, intention statements of what you intend to do and be, and an action plan designed to implement your new vision of yourself. The program will be set up with guidelines that encourage personal growth in a safe and confidential environment.

For other course offerings, more information, or to enroll, please contact Martha Mott at martimot@tds.net or 226-7092.

6. Red Barn Gallery Opens in Proctorsville
The following is an excerpt from the May 30 Rutland Herald article “Creative Impulses are Alive and Well in These Hills.” “George Davis opened the Red Barn Gallery on Route 131 in Proctorsville on Saturday. The space, previously used for storage, is exactly what the name says — a red barn — and Davis hopes it will become a home for local artists.

"We've created a co-op for the Okemo Valley arts community, and our concept is that the shop will be operated by the artists," Davis said. "The idea is when the artists are here operating the shop they will also be giving demonstrations, like Wendy is doing today."

Davis was referring to Wendy Lichtensteiger, who demonstrated her extraordinary woodcarving skills outside the barn. For 10 years, Lichtensteiger has taken reclaimed wood and shaped it into art.

"We have a transfer station here in town, and I'm the girl who's picking through the garbage," she said. She turns that garbage into realistic depictions of birds, fish and other wildlife, which can be seen at her website, www.interestingbird.com.”
