CGCC Noncredit Course offered HERE! at the Mountain Top Library
The Elements of Creative Writing
This course will explore various elements that comprise the writing of fiction by providing discussions, exercises and writing experiences that address the following question: How do I develop a story that presents meaningful conflict with realistic characters who speak authentically to each other? It would be very helpful if participants bring to class an idea for a short story or novel, or an incomplete short story or novel they have been working on. Part of the course will allow opportunities for sharing suggestions to further develop ideas or further develop the work of participants.
Instructor: Russ Kratz, Ph.D
Fee: $72.00 Class Begins: July 10th for 4 Tuesdays **11:00 am – 1:00pm**
**Please note, there is a misprint in the CGCC course catalog on the time of this class***
Qi Gong 101 for Wellbeing & Vitality
Qi Gong is a form of gentle exercise composed of movements that are repeated a number of times, often stretching the body increasing flow and building awareness of how the body moves through space. When you practice and learn a Qi Gong exercise movement, there are both external movements and internal movements. The Chinese refer to these internal movements or “flows” as neigong or “internal power.” Participants will learn a set of movements titled “The Eight Pieces of Brocade (Pa Tuan Chin).” This set is ideal to loosen your muscles, improve your posture, enhance you blood circulation and relax you.
Instructor: Abigail Podrecca O.M.D.
Fee: $ 97.00 Class Begins: May 23rd for 6 Wednesdays from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Contact the office of Community Services of Columbia Greene Community College at 518-828-4181 ext. 3342 or visit the CGCC website for more information or to register.
