When we’re grieving a loss, our hearts can feel like they’ve been broken apart. Here is an opportunity for you to knit your heart back together as well as bring joy to newborns. “Med-Knit-tations” is two sessions – each session is 90 minutes – where we will knit hats and/or sweaters for newborns in the beauty of the outdoors. No knitting experience is necessary! Knitting can be very meditative, and by making hats and sweaters for newborn babies, we hope it will provide a healing opportunity. CRPR, in partnership with Koch Funeral Home, will hold these sessions at the pavilions by the restrooms at Tudek Park. You will be responsible for providing knitting needles and yarn and will receive a list of the necessary supplies after registration. Instructors: Eleanor Martin and Jackie Naginey Hook.

A Walk with Grief is not an exercise program but instead a time of coming together with others who are grieving a loss and…walking. Walking to move grief from the inside to the outside. Walking to benefit from physical activity. Walking to connect with the healing aspects of nature. And walking to know you’re not alone. You can speak and share with others, or you can move about in silence. The important thing is to show up. In partnership with Koch Funeral Home, sessions will be one hour and held at different parks in our community. There will be four sessions and participants will receive park information once registration is complete. Instructor: Jackie Naginey Hook.

HIIT, or high-intensity interval training, is a training technique in which you give all-out, one hundred percent effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods. This type of training gets and keeps your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time. For this class, we will be using a 50-second intense period followed by 10 second rest period. The class is a 5X4 meaning four different intervals repeated five times. You will need a set of hand weights, a mat, and a chair (sometimes). Instructor: Janet Jonson, ACE Group Fitness Instructor.
