If yoga is not your thing, the Active Isolated Stretching class for Skiers may be the choice for you. This free class, taught by Bill Smith on Wednesday, January 20 from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Union Congregational Church, 403 Maroon Avenue, will improve flexibility and balance, which improves your downhill or Nordic skiing. Plus it prevents injuries and can address chronic pain. Call Bill at 349-5664 for more information about Active Stretching and other classes.
Millions saw the DVD “The Secret” and read the book, but many thought it too materialistic and simplistic. In the Self Empowerment and the Law of Attraction Workshop on the Secret Behind the Secret, view the clip from the “Secret” of Morris Goodman as he recovers from injuries after crashing his airplane in 1981. Told he would never walk, speak, or function normally again, he now travels the world inspiring and uplifting thousands with his astounding story. How he was able to heal exemplifies the depth and discipline required to make real the “simple” concept that you attract your reality. Bring a dish to share for the potluck, discuss the premises and learn process. Call 349-6464 for more information about this workshop held at the Crested Butte Chamber of Commerce, 601 Elk Avenue from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Monday, January 18.
