Summer Reading!
|
The journeys are created to bring you into your body, to release that which no longer serves you, align with your higher self and create new ways of being. Singing bowls, drums, rattles, chimes and other instruments will be used to reinforce and energize the meditation, all in a joyous and soulful way. You need to bring a mat to lie on, a blanket, a pillow, water, and an opened mind and heart. The event is free, but donations will be accepted.

Outdoor Family Movie Night: The Lorax
|
In 1936 the Schwarts, an immigrant family desperate to escape Nazi Germany, settle in a small town in upstate New York, where the father, a former high school teacher, is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. After local prejudice and the family's own emotional frailty result in unspeakable tragedy, the gravedigger's daughter, Rebecca, begins her astonishing pilgrimage into America, an odyssey of erotic risk and imaginative daring, ingenious self-invention, and, in the end, a bittersweet—but very "American"—triumph. "You are born here, they will not hurt you"—so the gravedigger has predicted for his daughter, which will turn out to be true.
In The Gravedigger's Daughter, Oates has created a masterpiece of domestic yet mythic realism, at once emotionally engaging and intellectually provocative: an intimately observed testimony to the resilience of the individual to set beside such predecessors as The Falls, Blonde, and We Were the Mulvaneys.
Reserve a copy of the book through a patron account or call the Beekley at 860-379-7235. The Beekley Book Club is a book discussion group that meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. All are welcome to join in.
