SUMMARY:T'ai Chi
DESCRIPTION:Free Tai Chi Chih/Qigong classes will be taught in Congress Square Park May through September. All classes will occur twice weekly — on Tuesays from 9:15 until 10:15 am and Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am\, led by Sara Leonard. \n\nOld pros and those who have just started practice\, as well as curious bystanders of all ages welcome!\nAlways FREE to the public.\n\n*What’s Tai Chi?*\nTai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that\, today\, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow\, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.\nA noncompetitive\, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching\, each posture flows into the next without pause\, ensuring that your body is in constant motion.\n\nTai Chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints\, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact\, because Tai Chi is a low-impact exercise\, it may be especially suitable if you’re an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.\n

SUMMARY:Longfellow Books Presents: Chris Van Dusen's "Big Truck Little Island"
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00am in Congress Square Park as we celebrate the release of Chris Van Dusen’s Big Truck Little Island! The Play Me A Story crew from Portland Stage will be performing the book\, and Van Dusen will be signing copies of Big Truck Little Island (as well as other titles).\n\nInspired by a real event that happened in Maine\, Big Truck Little Island is the story of a community coming together when the only road on the island is blocked by a truck that is\, maybe\, just a little too big. Told in Van Dusen’s utterly delightful signature rhymes\, this is sure to delight kids and parents alike as they follow along to see how the truck gets unstuck!\n\nLongfellow Books would like to thank Portland Stage and the Friends of Congress Square Park for their collaboration on this event.
