Aikido is a non-violent, Japanese martial art that translates as “the way of harmonizing life force energy.” Training helps develop confidence, discipline, flexibility, fitness, mindset, cooperation, appropriate responsiveness, and healthy assertiveness.
Join us on the first Wednesday of every month for our library book club! We'll look at highlights of our favorite new releases and books in the news, and also have an informal round-table discussion of books you've been reading that you'd like to share.

Join Lisa for a group read of Gary Springfield’s book Source Dialogues, a compilation of 54 channeled “conversations” with Source that were scribed by Source communicator Sondra Sneed.
In the dialogues, Source reveals the lost knowledge of how to activate the crystalline prism known as the Star Tetrahedron, with the power to create harmony, peace, abundance, and universal love for you and all of life. The dialogues will guide readers on a spiritual journey that reveals the step-by-step process to balance and align the emotional and physical bodies, which ignites the Divine Mind of the Higher Being you already are.

The Carbondale Rec Adult Softball League runs Mondays from 3 June to 26 August. Registration a team now.
This class series is focused primarily on basic movements, principles, philosophy, and weapons technique: sword, short and long staff, and knife. No experience or equipment needed. Aikido is a non-violent martial art that emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution. Through body movement learned in Aikido, an attacker’s violent, aggressive energy can be avoided, re-directed, and neutralized. The practice of Aikido has many applications for physical as well as non-physical conflict. The principles of Aikido are relevant to all types of conflict that we may encounter in our daily lives. The element that separates Aikido from most martial arts is its intention to do no harm to one’s opponent. Aikido seeks to resolve conflict so that all parties walk away un-harmed and mutually satisfied with the outcome.
