Essential Oils
101 with Heidi Schultz
Are
you hearing the buzz about essential oils and want to learn how to use them to
support your mental, emotional and physical wellness? Have you tried essential
oils but want to understand how to choose quality oils and integrate them into
your wellness routine? Join Heidi Schultz for this informative class. Heidi Schultz
began her wellness journey as a pre-teen, when she was labeled with an
inflammatory arthritic condition that could not be explained. Almost thirty
years later, she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease, causing years of
pain, inflammation, and other debilitating symptoms. In her journey to treat
her condition, Heidi has explored many alternative therapies, which include the
use of essential oils, to manage her symptoms. Heidi received a Masters of
Health Administration/MBA from the University of Pittsburgh in 1994, and has
created a life dedicated to balance and healing, which consists of yoga
practice, good nutrition and wellness support. Heidi recently completed 60 hours
of herbal instruction with Blue Crow Botanicals. Free and open to all.

Moments
of Seeing: Reflections from an Ordinary Life with Katrina Kenison
In
this long-awaited collection of essays from her popular blog, Katrina Kenison
gives voice to the simple joys and private longings of women everywhere. Here
are the deeply felt and beautifully articulated moments of life as it is really
lived – family dinners, the poignant arrivals and departures of growing
children, the triumphs and tumult of parenting, the ups and downs of
friendship, the challenges of marriage, the delicate balance between solitude
and intimacy, the fleeting beauty of the seasons, the death of loved ones, the
march of time. Join us as we welcome Katrina Kenison, who will read from her
latest work. Ms. Kenison is the author of three books tracing the seasons of a
woman’s life, perhaps best known for The
Gift of an Ordinary Day: A Mother’s Memoir. From 1990 until 2006, Kenison
was the series editor of The Best
American Short Stories, published annually by Houghton Mifflin. The mother
of two grown sons, she lives with her husband in rural New Hampshire. Her
YouTube video The Gift of an Ordinary Day
has been viewed more than two million times. Free and open to all.

From
Blue Ribbon to Code Blue with Jennifer
Field
In
1992, as Jennifer Field lay in a coma after a near-fatal car accident, one
doctor after another said she would never walk, or talk, or be able to take
care of herself again. But Jennifer and her mother believed something
different. They never gave up hope that Jennifer would regain a normal life.
And she did. This memoir, told in interweaving stories by Jennifer and her
mother, Joanne Field, follows Jennifer’s journey from world-class equestrian to
trauma patient to world-class survivor. “My opinion is that you can never think
your injury and disease has won,” writes Jennifer, who was a high school
student and Olympic hopeful before the car crash that nearly took her life. Her
training in the riding ring, her discipline, and her competitive spirit kept
her focused on her recovery. As did her mother, who was steadfast in seeking
out the treatments and therapies that would help Jennifer regain her life.
“Maybe I was living in false hope,” Joanne writes, “but it paid off.”
From Blue Ribbon to Code Blue is the story of a mother who refused to give up and a daughter who defied the odds through guts and determination. This is a compelling narrative threaded with memories from people who helped along the way—medical professionals, friends, and family. It’s a great tribute to the human spirit and the power of love. Jennifer Field, a magna cum laude graduate of Wheaton College, is a sought-after motivational speaker for corporate, nonprofit, medical, and academic audiences across the country. She is the president of the J. Field Foundation, which focuses on providing aid, hope, and inspiration to families of brain injury victims, and writes a monthly inspirational newsletter. Free and open to all.
