Join canine herbalist Nancy Anderson of Canis major herbals on the 2nd Tuesday of each month as we explore a holistic, herbal model for canine health. We'll start with nutrition and herbs, and apply that knowledge as we examine the different organ systems through the seasons, pulling it all together in a "whole dog" approach.

Oct 9: On the Nature of Canine Health - Exploring the holistic model

Nov 13: The Importance of Nutrition - Understanding nutrition as the foundation of health

Dec 11: Herbs 101 - What, when, why, and how would you use herbs for your dogs’ health issues? The medicinal applications of herbs will be discussed in their many different forms

Jan 8: Elements of Treatment - The Whole Dog: Putting it all together

Through 2013, we'll spend each month traveling through the canine body, aligning the seasons with the organ systems. Specific and common conditions will also be discussed, such as skin issues, Lyme Disease, parasites, anxiety… and more.
The aim is to make this a fun and interactive series (with tons of information flying around)!

Classes are $10 each and start at 7:00pm. Come to all (for a discounted rate) or only one. Arts at the Armory 191 Highland Ave, Somerville

For more information or to register, email nancy@canismajorherbals.com or visit www.canismajorherbals.com

Current Mood: enthralled

I'm considering a masters' program for marketing or business. In particular, the Emerson Integrated Marketing Communications looks promising. Anyone have an opinion? In particular, HR professionals or hiring managers for senior and director-level marketing and communications types of people?

Forgive this blatant promotional post, but I wanted to let people know about Shulman & Hill, a small tutoring company based in Somerville & Needham. I'm doing some work for them coaching students writing their college application essays but their primary focus is standardized test preparation (AP and SAT) and tutoring (in History, English, Math, and Physics). You can find more at shulmanandhill.com.

They're offering a back-to-school referral bonus special: Refer someone who books 5 sessions, get 1 free for yourself. If you or a friend have a high-school student, check them out. They've got excellent references and highly qualified tutors.

I'm posting this for my friend who's a professional tutor who offers both group and one-on-one instruction for English, History, and standardized tests including AP exams and SATs. Here's her announcement:

Parents: Worried about grades and test scores? Whether your child needs help getting from a D to a B, or from a B+ to an A+, send me an email. I can help with both short-term academic goals and the development of independent study skills for long-term success.

I have an excellent track record with the SAT Critical Reading and Writing sections, all AP History and English classes, and ACT preparation. I've recently relocated from Orange County, California, and on both coasts I have helped numerous students reach the next level of academic achievement.

Benefits of working with a professional tutor:

Familiar with wide range of coursework
Step back from conflict over homework and studying
One-on-one attention tailored to your child's learning style

My qualifications:

BA, History, Bryn Mawr College, 1999
MA, History, University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, 2007
MS, Library and Information Science, University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, 2008

Of course, references are available on request. Group and individual rates are available and the initial consultation is always free. We can meet in your home or in my office in Porter Square.

Contact me at rachel.shulman@gmail.com or 217.840.6868. You can also read more about me and my background on my website, www.collegeconnectiontutoring.com.

I look forward to speaking with you!

White People Challenging Racism: Moving From Talk to Action

Affordable White People Challenging Racism class starts 9/26

This affordable Cambridge Center for Adult Education workshop, now in its 11th year, is still being offered for just $28 + admin fee (covers all five 2-hour sessions, plus materials). While this course focuses on white people's role in dismantling racism and building a just society, it is open to people of all heritages.

The 5-session class starts Monday, September 26, 2011, with co-facilitators Adam Gibbons and Jennie Msall. both of whom are white. The class meets 6 to 8 pm for five consecutive Thursdays, in Harvard Square, Cambridge.

To register, call 617-547-6789 or sign up online at http://www.ccae.org (course code is WHIT - direct link http://www.ccae.org/catalog/detail.php?id=559176).

Course description: In this course, we'll examine the impact of white privilege and how being unaware of that advantage helps perpetuate racism. We'll share everyday situations in which we did not speak up against racial bias. Using role-plays, we'll develop effective speaking up strategies. Each participants will develop a specific plan for challenging racism in his or her workplace, community or personal circles, and will be encouraged to seek out and develop relationships with people who can serve as allies in efforts to address racism. This workshop is participatory, witha variety of inspiring readings, video clips and exercises. Limited to 15.

Thanks to all who responded to my original post about discounted Women’s Basics classes at IMPACT Boston. Several people who got in touch with me asked about our Men’s and LGBTQ self-defense classes, so now that they’re on the schedule I wanted to give you the scoop.

( Scpheal about IMPACT behind the cut )

Men’s Basics will take place July 8th thru 10th in Malden.

Friday July 8th: 6p-10:00p
Saturday July 9th: 10a-7p
Sunday July 10: 11a-4p

Guys, I bet you’ve thought deeply about what is worth defending and how you might respond to confrontations of different kinds. You’d be amazed at the variety of opinions and experiences you hear about when you have time to discuss it. The physical techniques are effective for anyone against any aggressor, and it’s fascinating to learn why. Moreover gaining physical skills while also having learned the patterns of escalation will assist your sense of assertiveness and overall confidence.

As always we offer scholarships (a name-your-own-price option) and no-interest payment plans.

LGBTQ men are welcome in the Men’s class, of course, but it looks like our LGBTQ class will be either the weekend of Sept 9-12 or Sept 16-18 and likely at Fenway Health in Boston. Send your contact info if you want me to let you know directly when it's finalized.

We’ll also have more Women's Basics classes,once a month from now through Sept.

If you're interested (or want me to send you a scholarship application,) please email me at registration@impactboston.org, call 781-321-3900, visit www.impactboston.org, or leave comments!

(will probably x-post to b0st0n)

i have two openings for more riding students! my barn is about fifteen miles north of somerville in north reading, but i can offer transportation from davis square, since that's where i live myself :) we can take one person (any level) at a time in a private lesson, or we could do a double lesson (two people riding together) if one of the people already has a little bit of horse experience. times are fairly negotiable, except that fridays are right out. if you're coming from somerville with me, you should plan on about three hours per lesson including transportation.

my horses are icelandic, which means they they have an additional fast, smooth "soft" gait called the tölt as well as the american-typical walk, trot, and canter. we teach total beginners (including scared beginners) through beginning eventing, and are located right next to the harold parker state forest for trail riding. i'm a massachusetts-licensed instructor, and also a certified instructor at level 1 of centered riding. (centered riding is a mental and physical approach to how to ride that applies across disciplines, so it works for english, western, dressage, jumping, icelandics, everything on a horse :)

ETA (thanks ron!) here is pricing info: the barn charges $25 per rider per lesson (that's for their insurance and the use of their facility.) additionally, i charge $40 for a single rider, $50 for two (the double-lesson pricing is a special i'm running for this summer, usually it's just $40 per rider). transportation's free since i have to get myself there anyway :)
