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 Mondays from 9:30 until 10:30 am and Wednesdays from 10 until 11 am\, led by \nSara 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.\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:Metamorphosis (Waking Windows)

Endless truth-telling. \nFrom the transcendent rhymes of Boston rapper\, poet\, and self-described champion of “the queer\, black\, orphaned\, hood kids and them” Oompa and the otherworldly melodies of Sub Pop psych-folk songwriter Death Vessel\, to the radical rural storytelling of true Maine original Carolyn Chute and the immersive world of New Fruit co-founders’ new performance project Cavatica\, to interactive family arts activities with Love Lab Studio and the overflowing crates of vinyl at the Portland Record Fair…\n\nSaturday\, September 21st.  \nParticipation. Exploration. Community. \nWe hope to see you there! \n  \nActivities in Congress Square Park\nSaturday\, September 21st | free | all ages \nFAMILY ARTMAKING\n3:00 – 5:30 PM Family arts activities with Love Lab Studio\nBird enthusiasts of all ages are invited to celebrate Metamorphosis by building\, designing\, and decorating Maine’s migratory birds.\n \n  \nMUSIC\n4:00 Skulken \n4:50 Angelikah Fahray\n5:45 Hannah Epperson\n6:40 Cavatica\n7:20 Dead Gowns\n8:20 Ian O’Neil (of Deer Tick) \n  \nFor more information on all programming for this year\, visit Waking Windows Portland’s website.
