Patterns are energetic visuals that can be absorbed and emulated. Nature’s designs, sacred geometry and forms support and enhance our energy and behavior. Crystal grids emanate a palpable frequency and energetic vibration which we can absorb, changing the pattern of our environment. In this class we will take time away from our schedules to participate, heal, support and nourish ourselves with the following: exploring sacred grids, meditation, art, crystals, sound + frequency.

The Hard Work of Hope takes you into the heady days of 1960s and 1970s activism, chronicling the hopes and strategies of the young people who created the movements that rocked the country.
Michael Ansara was on the front lines. In this fascinating memoir, he traces an arc of discovery: from the hope and moral clarity of the Civil Rights Movement to the ten-year struggle to end the war in Vietnam, with its sit-ins, marches, confrontations, and antiwar riots.
Ansara takes the reader into the minds of the activists detailing their successes as well as their mistakes. The Hard Work of Hope shows how he learned to become a more effective organizer and build the Massachusetts Fair Share organization. The book explores issues that remain urgent. How does a movement build support when large parts of the country are opposed to its goals? How do you connect with people who disagree with you? How do you build organizations that unite across racial lines? How can we make progress on the unfinished business of the hard work of hope?

Apis Law | Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Keith F. Diaz founded Apis Law, PLLC to fight for injured people across New Hampshire. With 22 years of legal experience, Attorney Diaz represents individuals and families who suffer injuries due to someone else's negligence — and he works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless he wins your case. Our practice handles car accidents, truck and motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and workplace injuries. We also take on employment law matters including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and sexual harassment. Attorney Diaz holds admission to practice in the State of New Hampshire (Bar No. 15831), the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He founded Apis Law in 2022 because he believes injured people in New Hampshire deserved an attorney who will fight for them with the same resources and intensity that insurance companies bring to the other side. From two offices in Goffstown and Bedford, Apis Law serves clients throughout southern New Hampshire including Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Amherst, Hooksett, and surrounding communities. When you get hurt, the insurance company assigns a team to minimize your payout. Apis Law fights back. Call (603) 785-1013 for a free consultation.
