Symposia Community Events – March 2013
Message from Cornel Rusu, Symposia Director:
I will be traveling to Haiti on March 22 to work with the children from one of the Port-au-Prince orphanages. Currently they do not have running water because the system they had broke down and I am raising $1200 to buy new water tanks and a water pump.
Please follow the link if you want to donate or forwarded it to your friends who might be willing to do so. Thank you.

$5 Yoga Class – Every Wednesday at 7 pm
Have you always shied away from Yoga because you thought you weren’t very flexible?
Symposia is now opening its doors to a new environment for yoga practice: small classes, taught in a supportive, non-competitive manner, with individual attention. Students will be gently guided through basic yoga postures, yogic breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
After the class, feel free to linger, have a cup of tea, chat. Refreshments will be served.
Certified Yoga Instructor Carmen Rusu

Cultural Dialogue Project Seeks to Nurture the Public Voice – March 7 at 7 pm
Progressive educator and media innovator John Bredin will convene an evening of open cultivated discourse at Symposia, where his visionary community-building project began 12 years ago with the help of Carmen and Cornel Rusu.
The conversation will be filmed for the Public Voice Salon, a cable TV show Bredin co-produces with his wife Claudia Canasto.
The intention of this project is to craft a rare media space to nurture the growth of humane, democratic discourse; along with story-telling, thinking out loud, and the art of “becoming” with others through the miracle of humane dialogue.
The event is part of a larger project to revive the ancient art of Salon–a-la Gertrude Stein in Paris and Marble Dodge in Greenwich Village–but with a more open, democratic, and non-elitist orientation. To create a tiny space where the wondrous particularities of authentic community might exist as an antidote to a degraded corporate media landscape now defined by slickness, cliché, banality, and a dumbing down agenda. The structure will consist of 6 panelists, along with a small audience–who will have a chance to speak during a Q & A at the conclusion of this one hour program.
Please RSVP as space is limited, by contacting John Bredin at jfbredin@hotmail.com

PUPPETONIA – Puppet Shows for Babies and Toddlers
Since its inception, Puppetonia has taught children so much more than just their ABC’s and 123′s. The music and puppet shows incorporate important social skills, early academics, thinking skills, motor skills, and self-expression.
The music is fun and upbeat, and the children are encouraged to move to the rhythm, follow verbal instructions, practice sequential movements, and have a great time. And there are bubbles galore!
For a sample of our shows, check these links:
