In the great oral tradition of the storyteller, Sari
Semple takes us back to the foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains of the mid-nineteenth
century. As Sari spins her tales the listener
is transported to those hills. The stories blend
together the folklore and the gritty reality of life in the
ridges and hollers of Appalachia. Young and old alike
will be spellbound by the rich tapestry of words woven
by Sari. She is the First Lady of Appalachia.

unique language; sensation, movement and breath. Our bodies carry hidden knowledge about what
we need, what we value and believe, and what has hurt us emotionally. The process of coming
home to our body is to understand that you are your body, with wisdom far deeper than your
intellect. This class will introduce you to simple, yet powerful tools to reconnect with your body and
to discover your own inner landscape ~ allowing for compassionate presence.

active in the field of massage therapy for over 20 years, specializing in Somatic
education. Cost: $20.00
Life Enrichment Book Club
Thursday, January 22
Noon at Café LaBelle
War Brides by Helen Bryan.
As war moves ever closer, the sleepy English village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of
normal: The nightly German air raids become grimly mundane. Rationing curtails every comfort.
Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge a bond of friendship that will change their lives
forever. With the hardships of World War II intensifying every day, the women band together to
defeat formidable enemies and find remarkable strength within themselves. It is a war-forged loyalty
certain to endure years. When four of the women return for a celebration fifty years later, their
mission is not simply to commemorate or remember, but to confront a traitor whose actions cost
countless lives and to avenge one of their own at last.
No registration is necessary and new members are always welcome. Books are available at Books
and Company and readers are eligible for our 15% Book Club discount when you mention the Life
Enrichment Book Club!
