Join Mike Horsman, retired
educator and lifelong student of American History, to explore the early years of the War for Independence as America celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026. This class will investigate the causes
of the war and the conduct of the war from Lexington & Concord to Princeton. No one gave the
plucky Colonists a chance against the might of
Great Britain, the dominant military in the world.
Despite the long odds, the colonists achieved several important victories against the British.
We will also be joined remotely by Larry Sands,
from Massachusetts, during the second session
of this class to share stories of the little-known
Marblehead Mariners, their leader Colonel John
Glover, and their indispensable service to General
George Washington in the early days of the conflict. The final six years of the war will be covered
in the subsequent two semesters *Note: The second session (3/12) will last 2.5 hours
instead of 2

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."

Step back in time with Historian Georgena Duncan for an engaging exploration of the homes and building practices in and
around Fayetteville through the 1870s. Together,
we’ll examine the few homes that still survive,
study photographs of those long gone, and discuss the styles and materials that defined this era
of local architecture. Rather than simply reading
about the past, participants will actively compare building features, trace how housing styles
changed over time, and discover what daily life
looked like within and around these homes.
We’ll explore kitchens, outhouses, barns, and other outbuildings—imagining where families kept
their livestock, horses, and carriages, how they
stored food and furniture, and whether closets
even existed. Participants will gain insights into
how builders and homeowners adapted to their
environment, what their choices reveal about
community life, and how construction costs
shaped design. Learn from expert interpretation,
shared discussion, and the chance to connect Fayetteville’s history to what still stands today.
In the second session, participants will possibly
tour Ridge House, the oldest house in Fayetteville,
the Walker-Stone House, and the Rieff House, currently Moore’s Funeral Chapel. If there is terrible
weather or other unforeseen problems, the fallback tour will be of Headquarters House, which is
the Jonas Tebbets House. Travel to the tour sites
will be up to the student, with further information
on parking to follow

Come relax and unwind at our Meditation and Sound Bath event, where you can find peace and tranquility on the mountain.

Join us for a transformative experience that blends the ancient practices of meditation with the therapeutic power of sound healing.

The benefits of a Sound Bath help release unhealthy energy patterns or blockages in and around the body through the vibrations as the Crystal Alchemy Singing Bowls are played. Blockages could be the result of buried trauma, anger, fear, anxiety, depression, weakened immune system, overwhelming stress.

Results are quieting the spinning/negative mind for a deep relaxation and meditation which raises your vibration, improving your mood, feelings of inner peace, along with feeling centered and balanced.

The session will start with breathwork, astrology information about the Spring Equinox, and a guided meditation. After a Sound Bath; most participants sleep very peacefully as the body has experienced deep relaxation. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water after a Sound Bath to flush any released energy.

Barbara is passionate about nurturing the creative and mindfulness process. She is a seasoned Kundalini yoga, chant and meditation practitioner. Through her yoga/meditation journey, she learned the healing power of sound, through crystal singing bowls and other instruments.

Bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, or whatever will make you feel comfortable to relax!
