Learn tips and tricks for taking better photos on your iPhone with professional photographer Karen Gowen This two-session online class will introduce you to the many features on an iPhone that will help you take better photos of the people, places, and things that you want to capture in your everyday lives. Our first interactive class will walk you through composition, basic settings on the iPhone camera and a discussion of some editing techniques to make your photos pop. Bring samples of your images and lots of questions. The second class will involve reviewing new work you created so that we can address issues you encountered while using the tips and tricks to produce your own great work.
Weekly Group: The “Wise Aging” program, based on the book Wise Aging written by Rachel Cowan and Linda Thal, is designed to help us find new joy in life and grow in wisdom, resilience and spirit. To achieve our goals, we will use the techniques of reflective discussions, Jewish text study, journaling, and mindfulness practice. This online program offers social, emotional and spiritual insights to help you achieve a fulfilling and active older age – one that recognizes the opportunities of growing older as well as the challenges. Topics include: relationships with adult children and spouses, cultivating well-being, developing nourishing friendships, forgiveness and reconciliation, living with loss and creating a legacy. Required text: book Wise Aging: Living with Joy, Resilience and Spirit by Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal. Facilitators: Mona Fishbane, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, a couple’s therapist, and author. Toby Glick, MS, is a school psychologist and psychotherapist with extensive group experience. Mona and Toby have successfully co-facilitated our Wise Aging groups for the past two years.
