Similar to acupressure, it uses simple and deeply effective hands-on techniques to stimulate “energy flows” within the body to restore balance to our system. Releasing accumulated tensions and stress allows the body to heal and rejuvenate naturally. In this self-help version, one gains a new awareness and sensitivity for listening closely to the messages of our system while we learn to treat and rebalance. As a daily practice, Jin Shin Jyutsu is known as a very effective tool to correct emotional and physical balances in the early stages. This course utilizes a three-book set, “Introducing Jin Shin Jyutus Is.”
NOTE: Students need to purchase the three-book set: “Introducing Jin Shin Jyutsu Is” by Mary Burmeister from Jin Shin Jyutsu Inc., jsjinc.net ($42). A signed liability waiver is required for this course.

- Patriarchy: Its Sources and Ramifications – In-Person
-
Item Number: S25PERS332A
Dates: 4/2/2025 - 5/7/2025
Times: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Days: W
Sessions: 6
Maximum Enrollment: 19
Building: Campbell Center
Room: Room B
Instructor: Miriam Reed
Registration for this course is closed. With the emergence of agriculture and animal domestication came the concept of private property and the patriarchal mindset articulated in the writings of Aristotle, the Hebrew Bible, and Greek and Roman myths. We’ll examine these along with the contemporary Greek response in the plays “Lysistrata” and “Medea.” We’ll then leap forward to 20th-century America, and the activism of pioneers for women’s rights. U.S. women received the vote in 1920 after demanding it for 72 years, but what has actually changed? Patriarchy demonizes men and women. How do men respond to our patriarchal society? We will consider concepts from “The Gender Knot” by a male writer who loves women and always preferred literature to football. Are the Aristotelian views alive and well today? What contributions did Christian women missionaries Jane Addams and Margaret Sanger make to 20th-century American culture? This is an opportunity to examine influences that are controlling our public and private lives.

Sessions: 8
Maximum Enrollment: 20
Building: Campbell Center
Room: Room B
Instructor: Bob Heilbroner
Registration for this course is closed. If the recent election and other world events have left you in grief and fear for the world, our planet and our beloved country, this course offers a safe place to grieve, regroup and support each other to live meaningful and joyous lives in challenging times. This course offers a historical framework, personal sharing and experiential practices to help us become effective advocates for life. To fight for life, we have to drink deeply of it, be sustained by it and become vehicles of nature’s powerful capacity to heal itself. This requires us to find a healthy balance in which our personal lives fuel our participation in the world, and our participation in the whole gives meaning to our personal joys, griefs and struggles. In a time of unchecked greed and power, nature is calling on us to respect the complex communion of mutual dependencies upon which all of life depends and to find our rightful place and belonging in the web of life: to become good citizens of the planet.
