The Ethel Walker School

Please join us for a virtual conversation with faculty and current students. This is an opportunity for you to learn about Walker’s welcoming community, arts, athletics, community service, and on-campus equestrian programs. We can’t wait to meet you! 
The Ethel Walker School is an independent, college preparatory, day and boarding school for girls in grades six-12 plus a PG year. Far more than a traditional all-girls school, it is a place where mentor-educators galvanize students to harness their creative energies and embark on lives of impact. Unconstrained by gender-biased thinking, Walker’s students are encouraged to test boundaries in the classroom, on the fields, and in pursuit of knowledge. While at Walker’s, girls are inspired to lead with confidence and conviction. This strength will imbue each graduate throughout her life. Walker’s alumnae carry themselves with grace and a certainty that empowers them to influence and inspire. We’re all for girls and have been since 1911.

How have your energy levels been? Are you looking to get more energy in your life without relying on coffee, sugar, or expensive supplementation? In this in-person workshop, you will discover how to increase your energy levels using Human Design!
Human Design offers the powerful suggestion that there is no "one size fits all" way to live, and that includes how we manage and restore our energy. Within your Human Design chart is hidden guidance for how you as an individual can increase your energy levels.
 In this workshop, you will learn how to decipher your chart so that you can derive more energy. We will discuss the 5 different energy types and how they best use their energy, plus the places on a chart that offer clues to increase your energy levels.
Each student will be given a personalized roadmap that includes:
-Your life's purpose and most potent energetic gifts
-Your energetic gifts that help you feel the most calm, stable, and supported internally so that you have the drive and energy to move forward
-Your optimal diet to support your brain function, digestion, and overall well-being
-Your optimal environment to support your energy levels, purpose, and uniqueness
At the end of the session, ThetaHealing energy clearing and healing will be offered to reinvigorate you and help you live in greater alignment with your life's purpose.
 This event is in partnership with and hosted at Good Vibes Flower and Gifts in Plainville, CT. The space is really cute, and we hope to see you there!

Beginner Qigong
A weekly class that helps you to lower stress, improve overall health &amp; increase longevity 
Instructor: Sifu Quincy Cooke
 
Saturdays starting March 16 From 1-2PM
Location: Zen Studio

Qigong is a combination of two words, "qi," which means “subtle breath” or “vital energy,” and "gong," which translates to “skill cultivated through steady practice.” Together, the words describe an age-old Chinese practice that harnesses the power of breath, movement, and intention setting to create health &amp; balance within the body. 
During each class:

<ul><li>Learn to breathe with purpose </li><li>Effectively listen to your body</li><li>Discover how to feel the qi rise within you. </li></ul>
What to expect: Classes will begin with a brief discussion of the forms/sequences to be worked on that day, followed by the guided movements and ending with meditation. After each session, expect to feel lighter and more energized. Soon, you will want to incorporate qigong into your daily routine. For those with mobility issues: Many of the movements and postures require you to stand for an hour, but can be modified to help those with mobility issues. What participants should bring: Loose, comfortable clothing; athletic shoes (like cross-trainers); optional water bottle and towel.
Event Fee: Suggested Donation of $20 (all donations help support quality low-cost programs such as this at the Bridge)
 
Drop ins welcome. 
Location: In the Zen Studio. Parking is in the first 3 parking areas when you pull off of Main St. The Zen Studio is the building that is next to the 3rd parking area, next to the Talcott Center. Black painted building with a red door. 
About Sifu Quincy: Sifu Quincy Cooke began his Qigong path in 2004. He has studied several systems and continues to deepen his understanding of Qi every day. He was certified by Master Keith Mazza as an instructor in 2018.
