Make New Authentic Women Friends (Age 50+)

Oxford, CT

As we age, we may lose connection with prior friendships as a result of many reasons such as relocation, illness, divorce, or perhaps just a change in common interests. This group in the **Oxford** CT area is for women ***aged 50+*** who are seeking new authentic friendships. Meetings will take place in a community setting, a restaurant, or in each other's homes. I'm always open to ideas for activities. To date, we've done outings such as wine tasting, listening to live music, taking walks on nice evenings, shared book readings and discussion, card games, or open dialogue on topics of concern or interest. ***NOTE: Meetup charges me $47.99 per month to use their platform to host these events. Your contribution to these membership fees is appreciated via the* Fund Raising section below.** ***Please consider making a donation in an amount of your choosing to help keep our group going. Even a small amount makes a difference. Thank you!***

Fairfield County Women, Friends & Fun!

Shelton, CT

Let's face it: meeting new friends in adulthood can be tough. Whether you are new to Fairfield county or have been around here forever, it's nice to meet new people and try new places! This group is for women residing in or close to Fairfield County who are ready to have fun and connect with other women in the area. As the organizer, my goal will be to plan 3-4 events per month but I encourage other members to host as well. Suggestions are always welcome! Please note that any member that signs up for an event and does not show up 2 times will be removed from the group. It's understandable that things can change however please change your rsvp to "no" if that happens so the members that do attend aren't waiting for you. Thank you in advance for being considerate!

Northford / New Haven Tai Chi

North Haven, CT

We practice Tai Chi at least one time a week. There are many opportunities to do so as our teacher holds classes on Sunday mornings and also on Thursday evenings in New Haven at Mactivity Gym, on Tuesday evenings in Northford and on Wednesday evenings at a private residence. Tai chi promotes health, stretching, mindfulness and relaxation. Tai chi lowers your blood pressure and improves your flexibility leading to better health for you. I am Greg Gibson, I am the manager of the classes and I find tai chi very relaxing, and surprisingly since the moves are so graceful and slow, to be a very good work out! My knees no longer hurt, my flexibility is much better, I am definitely stronger, and best of all, my kids are enjoying a happier and less stressed out Dad. In class we constantly review the basics and build with one new move each week. There is no pressure to learn this quickly; the whole point of this is to promote positive energy and to have a calm mental state. Here is a video of the master our teacher Rich studied under for 10 years. Our teacher Rich has been studying Tai Chi for over 20 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtHoltrsnoM It takes about 6 weeks of classes to learn the movements comprising the first 30 seconds of this video. Each week we do quite a few warm up exercises and talk about what we are doing before we practice what is called the "form" - this video shows the entire "24 form".

A Message from out Coach, Richard Dicine: There are five major recognized styles of tai chi chuan which are as follows: 1. Chen style; 2. Yang style; 3. Sun style; 4. Wu style; 5. Wu/hao style; I have studied all families of tai chi and I have won several gold metals at US competitions. At the Tuesday night class we are doing Hunyuan which means (mixture of) which I feel is closer to nature and encompasses a little bit of each. The family styles are classical and very rigid. Hunyuan is Dynamic and changes with many different body stiles. In the united states this makes better sense since we have such a rich mixture of cultures. So for big or small short or tall anyone can enjoy the benefits of Hunyuan Tai Chi. In the Thursday class we study the Yang family style. On weekend mornings, many different forms are practiced.
