Stress and anxiety are feelings we all experience. Though sometimes uncomfortable and overwhelming, stress and anxiety are personally meaningful. Cultivating mindfulness creates space for stress and anxiety to sit more comfortably with us, creating a foundation for getting in touch with their roots. If you are interested in cultivating mindfulness to deal with stress and anxiety, join Anthony Gonzalez, a mental health counseling intern and student at SUNY New Paltz, for weekly group lessons in mindfulness.

Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world.  Mahjong enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish.  Players with mahjong sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan. This program is free, ongoing and open to players from all communities.
