SUMMARY:Tai Chi Chih & Qigong
DESCRIPTION:Take an hour out of your busy week to enjoy a free Tai Chi Chih/Qigong class. \nTai Chi Chih (pronounced tie chee cha) is like moving meditation. It consists of 19 movements and one posture. \nTai Chi Chih creates an awareness of and influences dimensions of our being that are not part of traditional exercise programs. It’s a non martial form of Tai Chi that increases the life force or vital energy that flows through us and all things in the universe. Various studies from Harvard Medical School and UCLA cite the many benefits of regular practice. \nClasses will be taught by Raymond Reid or Sara Leonard. \n  \nTai Chi Chih/Qigong classes will be taught in Congress Square Park in May through October\, excepting July. All classes will occur weekly on Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am.

SUMMARY:Fishin' Ships Food Truck
DESCRIPTION:Fishin’ Ships Food Truck starts with a classic street food that pays tribute to Portland’s historic fishing industry – fish and chips! Then\, they break the mold of what is traditionally considered fish and chips by offering craft beer batters made with gourmet ingredients. Look forward to a perfected classic\, and twists like a basil and thai chili battered fish\, prepared in Bissell Brothers Substance beer batter or a curry and onion battered fish\, fried in Allagash White beer batter. A rotating menu of lighter fare options include fish tacos\, fish sliders\, and ceviche. All fish comes from local waters and all beer batters are made with Maine made beer! \n

He has been creating films and taking pictures since his Junior year of high school and has continued to pursue his passion ever since. He was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and his family moved to America when h was 9 years-old hoping to seek a better life and more opportunities. He often takes inspiration from his own life experiences and a lot of his work revolves around his community and stories of the black condition through his eyes.

He considers himself an experimental filmmaker and strives to distinguish his work from traditional and mainstream styles. \nHenry Spritz is a 17 year-old filmmaker from Portland\, Maine\, where he currently attends Waynflete School. He began filmmaking in eighth grade and since\, has become involved in the Maine film scene\, collaborating with other artists\, teaching workshops and screening his work locally.

His work often focuses on his home\, Portland\, Maine\, its conflicts\, its residents\, and their stories.

His film\, “Oldtown”\, has been screened in Portland\, New York and Miami. \nClaude Kirongozi is a Portland-based filmmaker and photographer. He was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and has lived in the US for about 12 years. He says that Maine has played a huge role in his upbringing.

SUMMARY:Pure Barre Fitness Class
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to shake with Pure Barre Portland Owner\, Jamie Calenda\, at Pure Barre’s first ever outdoor pop up class! \nPure Barre is a high energy\, intense\, muscle-sculpting class comprised of low-impact exercises set to upbeat music. The class flows through a quick progression of small isometric movements designed to isolate your arms\, thighs\, seat\, and abs. Pure Barre is designed to work muscles to the point of fatigue and then stretch them out in order to achieve a stronger\, leaner physique. This class is for all ages and all fitness types. \nThe class is BYOM (bring your own mat) – all you need is your mat and some positive vibes and we will be ready to SHAKE. \n*Participants under the age of 18 will require guardian signature \n  \nAbout the instructor:\nJamie took her first Pure Barre class in Boston MA back in 2013 and there an epic love story began. The obsession as a client turned into passion when Jamie was selected to join the Pure Barre NYC Team in 2015 as an instructor. That heightened level of fulfillment felt by being a part of something that is so much more than just a workout is what led Jamie to walk away from her once “dream career” in Retail Buying and take the leap into entrepreneurship. Being able to bring the very first Pure Barre to the amazing state of Maine has been a complete honor and privilege for Jamie. Her class is high energy from start to finish and her goal is to make you legitimately want to murder her for what she is making you do… and for at least one person in the class to laugh out loud when she cracks a joke that really isn’t all that funny but she thinks is hilarious.
