This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)

Join us at the Broad Brook Community Center for a special evening celebrating the recent reprint of the beloved Vermont humor classic, Real Vermonters Don’t Milk Goats, written by longtime Vermont journalist, author, and legislator Bill Mares and political scientist Frank Bryan.

First published in 1983, Real Vermonters Don’t Milk Goats affectionately poked fun at the differences between longtime Vermonters and the newcomers discovering the Green Mountain State, a theme that remains remarkably recognizable today.

Stop by for the monthly Community Potluck at 6pm, then stay til 7pm to hear the stories behind this uniquely Vermont book, enjoy a little good-natured Vermont humor, and celebrate the life and work of author Bill Mares. Bill Mares partner, Chris Hadsel, will be on hand to share stories about Bill, discuss the history and enduring humor of the book, and talk about its newly revived edition.

At this time the BBCC board will be meeting.

Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.

Essentrics is influenced by the flowing, strengthening and healing movements of tai chi, dance and physiotherapy. It improves posture, increases energy, and reduces pain by improving the range of motion through dynamic movement. This class is geared towards all ages and is a great program for athletes looking for more flexibility, people just beginning their fitness journeys, and for those recovering from injuries.

Come to one class in this winter series or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Questions? Reach out to Kelly

Looking for some low pressure community connection? Stop in and enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea! or cocoa!) and converse with neighbors and friends. This event is free and open to all.

Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.

Essentrics is influenced by the flowing, strengthening and healing movements of tai chi, dance and physiotherapy. It improves posture, increases energy, and reduces pain by improving the range of motion through dynamic movement. This class is geared towards all ages and is a great program for athletes looking for more flexibility, people just beginning their fitness journeys, and for those recovering from injuries.

Come to one class in this winter series or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Questions? Reach out to Kelly

On this date we are booked for a private event.

If you would like to rent the BBCC please email broadbrookcc@gmail.com
