Dave Kane, father of Nicholas O’Neill, the youngest victim of the fourth largest Nightclub fire in U.S. History, shares fascinating stories and intriguing evidence that life never ends. After receiving barrage of signs, including vocal messages from Nicky, Dave is convinced that he has not “lost” his son.

Instead, he has been given the priceless gift of a loving eternal connection with his boy. After experiencing Dave’s uplifting presentation and seeing his evidence, you too will be assured that your loved ones who have passed are still with you.

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll be guided to identify the body sensations that hold your stresses, and rather than trying to get rid of them like we usually do, we will turn toward and learn more about them. We will then take part in Yoga Dance — familiar yoga moves set to various musical beats, with room to explore, transform, and release your body’s tension and stress in its own way. No dance or yoga experience necessary!

*10 registrants required to host the workshop.

Oil Painting Workshop with a Twist for the Beginner to the Intermediate…(Adults)
Reawaken Your Creative Soul and Learn to Paint

Tuesdays 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (6-week session)
Starts: Tuesday, October 7, 2025
Ends: Tuesday, November 11, 2025

Instructor:  Laura Tryon Jennings, CAGs
Registration is required – CHECK BACK SOON FOR REGISTATION LINK

Fee: $225 (plus $30 supply fee paid if needed or desired). Limited space available.

 

Tap into an extraordinary resource: the vibrant, vital force of your own creative character in a nurturing, encouraging, and safe environment and discover your distinctive path to oil painting. You only need bring the willingness to give up any attachment to feeling you have no talent or creativity. The focus of this workshop is to enjoy the creative experience and self-nurturing qualities oil painting can provide to your soul. It offers a unique blend of learning the basics of oil painting materials, foundations of color theory, color mixing, composition and working with the flow of the creative process to awaken creative spirit, remember playfulness, and open a fuller expression of authentic self by nurturing your essence. Artist Jennings approaches teaching each student individually, so they can paint freely, at their own level, and paint a subject (landscape, still life, portrait, abstract, interior, etc. from life and/or from a photograph) befitting their skills and needs. The workshop can be used as a vehicle for expression, playing with paint, learning the techniques of oil painting, and/or to have instructional oil painting, which means you truly can be a beginner, intermediate, or simply get a feel for oil painting. All supplies will be provided for $30 or bring your own supplies if you prefer.

For students who have absolutely no background in painting and desire instructional painting, one or two private classes with Laura may be recommended before jumping into a six-week session. If this isn’t feasible, Laura asks for patience, particularly on the first day, and encourages you to contact her with your email and phone number so she can connect with you at least one week before class: LTryonJennings@gmail.com, 781-837-7982.

There is a 12-student maximum.
