“If you turn an airplane one degree north every half hour you won’t even notice the change, but you end up in an entirely different place!”

The goal of this weekly meeting is to create a space for community members to not only practice positive ways of moving through the world, but also to create a tangible record of their progress by journaling. Through writing about daily moments & experiences you can start to see the progress & joy you experience, you can see your “One Degree Turns”. By writing about One Degree Goals over a shorter time frame we start to see our own improvements, we can see the often overlooked smaller steps that make up our progress. We look forward to seeing you Fridays at 1pm! All journaling notebooks & supplies provided, sign-up available at front desk or by calling the NRC main number (413) 834-4127.

Everyone is an artist! Tap into your creative side through a variety of mediums from acrylics & watercolors to colored pencils, collaging & more! All are welcome to join us in a supportive & encouraging environment as we create together. We look forward to seeing you there!
