Discover ancient techniques in the modern day.
This Wednesday, use your me-time for some self-exploration and meditation through the ancient practice of a labyrinth. Hosted by the Greendale Parks and Recreation Department at the Village Education Center, nurse and Reiki Master Linda Daniels explores using a labyrinth as a means for reflection. The labyrinth is essentially a maze inscribed on the floor of a building or the ground of a garden used as a symbol for the maze of one’s own life. Walking slowly through the maze is meant to symbolize the journey one takes through life. The meditation technique is physically easy to complete and creates a space for mental peace of mind. In this one-day class from 6:30-8 p.m., Daniels will explain the history of the labyrinth as well as how to …

It's dancing with a twist.
The Greenfield Parks and Recreation Department begins its second spring session of Saturday Zumba classes the week of March 26. This aerobic-style of dancing is Latin-inspired and pulls from traditional salsa, rumba and cha-cha techniques. The park and rec encourages everyone over the age of 16 to participate and Patch thinks this series of seven Saturday mornings is the perfect way to escape the house, get your workout in and have a ton of fun as you learn new dance moves. The fitness class aims to maximize the calorie burn with total body motions that simultaneously tone and engage all muscle groups. The peppy music and dynamic instructor make the class anything but grueling. You’ll find yourself laughing and loving the free spirited …
