Community Calendar

Join a panel of local medical providers for an informative and medically grounded conversation about infertility. This session will explore common causes of infertility, current treatment options, and address myths and misinformation frequently circulating in social media and popular culture. Presented in a conversation-style format, the discussion will be moderated to encourage dialogue among speakers and include time for audience questions. Resources for attendees will be provided, offering reliable information and next steps for those seeking support or clarity around fertility concerns.

After, we’ll have an hour of tai chi led by Rowan Mulvey. Rowan has led groups of people in motion for over 25 years here in Homer, including Dance, Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates, physical training, senior and aquatic exercise. Tai Chi helps us develop and strengthen our mindfulness and movement awareness and capabilities. The practice meets each one of us wherever we are at each day, each breath, each moment.

As always, free soup and bread will be provided, and all are welcome!
