Learn about nurturing the soul, self massage, turning trash into treasure and a little about jazz at the upcoming April workshops.

Lone Star College-CyFair’s Learning, Inspiration, Fellowship, and Enrichment (L.I.F.E.) programs are free and held Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the library (Room 131 unless otherwise noted) at 9191 Barker Cypress.

• April 6 - Acquainted with the Night: Everyone knows that life throws us lemons and we learn to make lemonade. Professor Michael Fey shows how reading, writing and reciting poetry can help assuage grief and nurture the soul. Celebrate National Poetry Month.

• April 13 - Ayurvedic Self Massage: Barbara Morrison of Texas Yoga Institute demonstrates this therapeutic practice and how it can reduce stress, strengthen limbs, stimulate circulation and oil the joints.

• April 20 - Trash into Treasure: Linda Gabrielson will show how to honor the Earth by recycling those plastic bottle lids into fun plant markers for your spring gardens in LRNC 131. In the spirit of Earth Day in the A.L.L. class starting at 1:30 p.m. in MOD 2, Room 101, she will show how to turn flip-top can lids into decorative bracelets (Joint A.L.L./L.I.F.E. program).

• April 27 - Le Jazz Hot: Jazz – it’s hot, it’s smooth, it’s cool man. It’s blues and rhythm. It’s as individual as the musician who plays it. It’s hard to define, but easy to listen to. Come celebrate this style of music, which is a true American invention, with LSC-CyFair’s John Wolfskill for National Jazz Month in the Center for the Arts-Recital Hall 102.
