Written By: Bonnie Dayton - Center for Life Enrichment | Issue: 2015/04 - April
The gloom caused by Mother Nature during the winter months has magically ended with the arrival of April.
If you’ve spent the winter curled up on the couch with your favorite comfort food and binge-watching Netflix, it’s time for a little mental stimulation. Spring is the season of awakening and it’s time to start thinking about getting “brain fit.” The Center for Life Enrichment has a 2018 catalog full of classes and events sure to cause more than a little excitement in your gray matter.
In April, Nigel Sixsmith starts off the season teaching you all the ways SIRI can help you be more productive, and then follows with a season full of classes that will keep you up-to-date on all things Apple.
Experience the beauty of spring and see one of the regions finest displays of wildflowers in the region during a wildflower hike with botanist Gary Wein of the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust.
With a stimulating array of general interest topics that covers politics, world affairs, science, food, politics and everything else that matters, CLE has classes and presenters to grab your attention and keep you engaged.
Travel is good for lots of things, but it can also increase mental well-being, and not just in the short-term. Traveling can make you a happier person by building self-confidence and providing new experiences and memories. You can build new memories by choosing to travel with CLE in 2018. If you have an affinity for art, then our trip to visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Exhibit at Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, will be perfect for you. The trip is August 26-28.
Did you know that a quick getaway or a day trip makes you a more interesting person? And to keep you from being boring we have an exciting overnight trip planned to discover Alpine Helen, Georgia, and the Unicoi Wine Trail. You can be a part of the Oktoberfest festival and explore the area’s local wineries while enjoying the beauty of the changing leaves in the North Georgia Mountains. The trip is scheduled for October 16-17. Plan ahead to travel abroad to Morocco in 2019.
