Book is required and available in the library
as print, e-book or audiobook
and through Amazon.
Beginning French
Are you a first-time French learner or
brushing up on your forgotten high-school French? By using
a Duolingo classroom App, this class is fun, interactive,
self-paced and non-threatening. Supplemental exercises,
word games, and short videos will also be provided as
well as an insight into various French-speaking cultures.
The instructor will provide you with the Duolingo set
up instructions and classroom code at the beginning.
Craft Workshop
Part 1: 5 weeks
1/21, 1/28, 2/4, 2/11, 2/25 Polymer Clay: Canes
A polymer clay cane is a log of polymer clay that’s
made with a design that runs the entire length of the
log. Slices from the cane will reveal a design and all
slices from the cane will have identical designs. When
slices of polymer clay canes are arranged to make a field
of flowers, this can be called millefiori.

4/8, 4/15 Felt and Wire Wreath
An airy wreath for your door (inside or out) or to hang
on the wall or prop on a shelf.
Current Events
Each week there will be a discussion of
what’s happening the week before in the news (local
theatre productions, major events, etc.) Politics may
be discussed but only in a general news way. There will
be no endorsing of candidates or specific political parties.
Enneagram – A tool
for Transformation: Level 2
6 weeks 1/21-3/4
Participants will need to have some background in the
Enneagram and will need to have defined their type prior
to taking this class. During this 6 week class, participants
will delve deeper into the ways we tend to move around
the Enneagram map, consciously or unconsciously, and will
leave with a deeper understanding of their movement towards
transformation. The Enneagram is a tool in understanding
our true self - the self God created and how the self
created by our domestication interferes with God’s
creation.
Environmental Issues Part 2
Environmental science will study the structure
of ecosystems and then the human impact on the water,
nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus cycles. Global warming,
the ozone layer, agricultural practices, recycling, mineral
use and sustainable practices will also be covered.
Family History Detective

the musical works, the composers, the performers, and
interesting facts.
Jin Shin Jyutsu - Self
Help
Harmonizing the body to feel better anytime.
Journey of the Soul:
A Fresh Look at Life, Death, and the Rest – in Peace
Six 60 minute sessions 2/2 –
3/16 Textbook req’d
www.jewishlouisiana.com/4956954
Who hasn’t wondered what happens when we die? We
know what happens to the body. But what happens to the
soul at birth and again at death?
- Is there really a “better” place after this
one?
- Do our loved ones continue to connect with us ?
- Can I relate to an afterlife if I’m not spiritual
?
At once practical and powerful, reflective and relatable,
Journey of the Soul teaches a Jewish perspective on life
that begins before birth and lasts well after a person’s
passing.
Kindness Matters
This is a reading and discussion class
based on two books: The Rabbit Effect- Live Longer,
Happier and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science
of Kindness by Kellie Harding AND Dare To Be Kind-
How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World
By Lizzie Velasquez
Mah Jong
Have fun playing online at myjong.net.
You will be contacted by instructors with details on how
to connect and get your card. An exciting game played
with tiles. It is likened to an “oriental Rummy”.
The ideal setup is 4 handed but 2 or as many as 5 participants
may compete. The People Program teaches the rules of the
National Mahjongg League. It is always played without
partners. The skill and luck of the individual makes a
winner.
Managing Yor Health 2.0
– Being Healthy at home
All welcome. New topics including sleep
in older adults, obesity and vaccinations.
Mindfulness Meditation
The purpose of this course is to introduce
the participants to mindfulness meditation as a practice
for living a happier and less stressful day by addressing
mental habits that increase our propensity to anger, hate
and general dissatisfaction in life. Measurable results
can be a quieter mind, more tolerance, les judgement,
better sleep, lower stress, higher attention and chronic
pain reduction among many others.
Mining The Meaning of the
Bible 3 classes
This course will be an introduction to
how we interpret the meaning of the Scriptures. Session
One will be a general introduction to the method we use
in the Roman Catholic Church; Session Two will be an overview
of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and Session Three will
be an overview of the New Testament/Christian Bible.
Old Testament Cont’d
Having completed 90% of Genesis, the course
will move on to the book of Exodus. Students will be oriented
to necessary skills and awareness’s in reading the
Hebrew Scripture. The focal point is always what do we
learn about God (attributes of God)? About humankind?
And the relationship between the two (salvation history).
Reading assignments are to be expected. We will continue
subsequent OT books through the Pentateuch.
River Of Fire by Sr. Helen
Prejean, CSJ
7 weeks 1/18 –
3/8 Book Req’d This class will involve
the reading of the life story of Helen Prejean, CSJ. Her
book can be purchased through The Catholic Bookstore on
Carrolton Ave. Sr. Helen will launch the first class and

The other classes will be journaling and sharing after
reading parts of the book. This will be led by mediator
Maureen Walsh.
Short Fiction – Book
Req’d
Norton Anthology Of Fiction 6th Edition
Abe Books has it for about $5 plus tax. Web site is http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetails
The Art of
Quilling Part 2 No new students
Also known as paper filigree, this art
involves using strips of paper that are rolled, shaped
and glued together to create decorative designs. Your
creations can be used to decorate greeting cards, pictures,
boxes, eggs etc.
Ukranian Easter Egg Design
Pysanky means “to write” the
design on a blown egg. The eggs are decorated by a complicated
process akin to Batik. Melted bees wax is applied with
a stylus to the blown egg. The egg is dipped into a succession
of dye baths. Between each dipping, wax is applied over
areas where previous color is to remain. After the final
color has set, wax is rubbed off and a glaze is applied.
Make beautiful, one of a kind Easter eggs !!!
Why Is New Orleans Different?
Join Greg McKnight for a presentation/discussion
about all the things that make The Big Easy so unlike
any other place. There are wonderful stories to be shared.
Wisdom Ways Of Knowing
2 (Practices) by Cynthia Bourgeault
Book req’d and familiarity with it
will be helpful. This course will explore wisdom tools
suggested by the author, such as sacred chanting, lectio
divina, centering prayer, meditation, labyrinth walking
and practices of presence and surrender.
Writing and Marketing Short
Fiction Stories
This course will examine the definition
of short fiction story genres; delve into the structures
most commonly used in the genres; explore samples of short
fiction and look at the market and the methods and opportunities
available to become published. The class is an opportunity
for those who are writing regularly to work in the short
fiction genre and to jump start work on longer genres
such as novellas and novels. Student work will be shared
and critiqued during a portion of each class meeting.
Please investigate purchasing a used book at a used
book seller or a kindle edition...
