Self-Defense
You may experience people and situations
that will test your patience, temper, good nature and
stamina. These various “stressors” in your life can
also be the cause of a variety of physical, mental and
emotional health-related illnesses that interfere with
your quality of life. Learn techniques to recognize,
reduce and manage the causes of stress and lead
a healthy, productive and satisfying life.
Self-defense begins with how you walk,
how you talk and what types of situations you put
yourself in and avoid. Women are often not equipped
with the basic skills to defend themselves both
in everyday situations and in more extreme attack
scenarios. This is a course based in personal empowerment, finding your voice and having the skills to
defend yourself in many situations using simple and

Annuities: What Are They?
Should I Invest in One?
Variable annuities have been called “a financial
product that is never bought, only sold.” Further, they
are very complex documents full of confusing jargon.
Using plain language and good humor, examine
the different types of annuity products; decode the
jargon; address tax consequences, cost structures
and pricing. Are they, in fact, ever a good idea?
Why are record numbers of them sold?

Architect R. Brognard Okie
and the Colonial Revival
The traditional architecture of the
Delaware Valley, especially as interpreted by R.
Brognard Okie (1875-1945) has long been recognized
by the national design media, in professional and
“shelter” publications, such as House and Garden.
Jim reveals how Okie's architectural “signature”
became a very personal reinterpretation of both
high-style colonial precedents and folk architectural
traditions — a timeless blend that remains inspirational and relevant to this day. View many of the

constraints, the architect could employ different materials and visual metaphors. Jeff explores suburban

The Five Greatest
American Movies Ever Made

Today, they still cast a giant, awe-inspiring shadow
of influence over every artistic aspect of the film
industry. Any director who has ever been privileged to stand behind a camera owes these films
an immense debt. These five movies — Citizen
Kane, Psycho, Godfather, Chinatown and 2001: A

Five Fabulous Films
from the Fifties
Hollywood’s once seemingly depthless talent pool
was drained in the 1950s by the allure of television and the blacklisting of talented actors, producers, screenwriters and directors by the House
Un-American Activities Committee. So, how did the
1950s still manage to produce some of the most
outstanding and controversial films in cinematic
history? Rear Window, On the Waterfront, Night of
the Hunter, A Face in the Crowd and Paths of Glory
smuggled something daring into the rich fabric of
their sub-textually complex narratives.

War Horse at the

A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship
in England, 1914. As World War I begins, Joey, young
Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and
shipped from England to France. He's soon caught up
in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary
journey, serving on both sides before finding himself
alone in no man's land. But Albert cannot forget Joey
and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a
treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled
with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing lifesized puppets created by South Africa's Handspring
Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping,
charging horses to life on the stage.

liberated women
Re-Examining Women’s
Liberation for the 21st Century
Here we stand 60 years beyond the initiation of the women's liberation movement. Though
women are now socially equal to men, legally at least,
we remain limited by thousands of years of biological
and cultural conditioning. What would be possible if
we were not only conscious of these conditionings,
but able to evolve beyond them? Through the use
of art, meditation, history and dialogue we will develop a loving objectification of our experience and
find a deeper sense of self. We will find the places in
ourselves as women where we can move beyond the
status quo and break the confines of our own reality.
