Sneak Peak and Practice

Greetings!

 

As planned, we will be meeting 'at the library' on August 30th for an opening—but not the grand opening we anticipated. But as Oscar Wilde said, if a thing is worth having, it is worth waiting for. The full GRAND opening celebration will now take place on October 12, Dick Price's birthday. On that day, we will offer a complete tour of the library and launch our membership drive. This day-long open house will include a series of events showcasing the archive's range and our community's engagement. It's a party! And the dress code is 'come as you are.'


In the meantime, you are warmly invited to a sneak preview on August 30—a behind-the-scenes visit reserved for friends of the library. The boxes aren't all unpacked, the curtains aren't yet hung, and the landscapers still have work to do, but there is plenty to explore. Your questions and comments will help us know what's working, what needs adjustment, and how to best introduce these resources. 


Even with boxes stacked in the corners, there will be something to explore in every room. We will also take time to sit together in practice, grounded in the field of presence that is the foundation of gestalt practice. 

 

We have scheduled a new series of events for September and early October. You can register for those on the website. After the October 12 opening, most programs will become available to members only, but for this next month, the events are still open to all.


We hope to see you on Saturday. If you have not already registered, fill out this form so we know you are coming. We look forward to showing you around!

Chris, Dorothy, and Sharon


PS: All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime.
