Symposia Community Events – February 2013
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
$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

“It’s All About LOVE!” –Valentine Party – Feb. 12 at 7 pm
And we don’t mean only romantic love, the type that gives you butterflies in your stomach and an unnatural craving for heart-shaped chocolates. We mean ANY kind of bond of friendship, mutual respect and affection between human beings. LOVE creates community, it brings us closer together, and ultimately shapes our lives.
So come celebrate LOVE with us at Symposia at our annual Valentine’s Day Party!
Bring some delicious food to share, as well as some thoughts on what love means to you. It could be anything – a favorite poem, a drawing, a photograph, a craft, a song, a story, or a talent. Let us know how love has impacted your life during the past year or past week, and why you couldn’t imagine living life without it!!!
For more information or to let her what you plan to bring, call Carmen at 201-805-1739

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:
