Explore the benefits of yoga in developing concentration, self-regulation, and self-confidence all while enjoying family fun--now outdoors during the warmer months! This program incorporates social-emotional learning by helping children connect to body and breath, while also connecting with one another! Rianna creates a safe and playful environment where your child is empowered and encouraged to stretch into a warrior, a lotus flower, and everything in between. 

All participants should bring their own yoga mat and wear comfortable clothing. Space is limited. Please register for each person (kids and adults) who plans to attend. Geared toward children ages 3+ accompanied by an adult.

Building a community based on the perception of exclusivity can significantly change us—and not for the better. Keeping our focus on housing, this session will present inclusive housing solutions for discussion and engage everyone in a transformational conversation on the benefits of a community that draws together people from all backgrounds. Speakers: Ken Kearney, Founder and President, The Kearney Realty & Development Group and Christa Hines, Executive Director, Hudson River Housing. Conversation moderated by Fr. Richard McKeon.

Part of the Affordable Housing conversation series How Do We House Rhinebeck? The Past, Present, and Future of Our Community.  Sponsored by the Episcopal Church of the Messiah, in collaboration with Starr Library and other members of the community. Funded through a grant from the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
