Teleconference

Details

All times listed are in Eastern.

9 am: ACB Presents The Daily Schedule

Join your Community Morning Crew for the question of the day; reading of the daily schedule; and sharing time.

11 am: Alison's Community Cafe

Celebrate the end of the week with Alison and your fellow community members with some lively chatter and fun. Meet new people, or re-acquaint with old friends.

12 pm: Mindful Movement to Manage Stress

This yoga class co-ordinates small, gentle movements with the breath to promote a sense of well-being. The movements are selected to benefit guide dog handlers and white cane users, so we focus a lot on hips, back, shoulders, arms, and hands and other areas where we build up tension.
You will be encouraged to move within your current range of motion and energy level. The whole practice can be done while sitting in a chair. We will finish with a guided awareness relaxation. Everything will be described clearly, and you can ask questions. What you'll need for this class: a firm chair that won't slide around as you move; a folded blanket or a couple of folded bath towels, and a bed pillow or throe pillow. This class is taught by yoga teacher Robin Mandell.

Join Bel for an opportunity to discuss a range of topics on how we relate to the world around us, blind and low vision alike.  Remember, your view matters! This time, synesthesia, relating to colors.

7 pm: Behind the Music Your Song Your Story

So many of us love Karaoke and the fun, family feeling we get when we share our songs. Often there is a story behind why we choose the songs, funny or challenging, or just something touches us. Spoken word and original music is welcome also. Send your submissions to be included in the set list by 4pm Friday  using the email [email protected]; put behind the music in the subject line and make sure your performance includes the Meta data or is a cappella or self performed.
