SUMMARY:Introduction to Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 29th @ 12pm\nIkebana is one of the representative aspects of Japanese traditional culture\, and ikebana began with Ikenobo in 1462. \nIn the mid-16th century Senno Ikenobo taught\, “Not only beautiful flowers but also buds and withered flowers have life\, and each has its own beauty. By arranging flowers with reverence\, one refines oneself.” \n \nArranging flowers and finding beauty in flowers – these are linked to a heart that values nature and cares for other people. This is the spirit of Ikenobo Ikebana. \nIn Japan the study of ikebana is a lifetime practice. In this presentation participants will be offered a brief introduction to the basic philosophy and principles of ikebana and given the opportunity to make a small freestyle arrangement to take home.  Information about joining the ongoing ikebana classes will also be provided. \nBrenda Jackson teaches with the Ikenobo Edmonton Study Group. Brenda started studying Ikebana while teaching in the Okanagan and has continued her studies with the Ikenobo school through lessons and workshops in Vernon\, Vancouver\, San Francisco\, Switzerland\, Illinois\, Edmonton and Japan. Brenda teaches classes at the Jewish Senior Citizen’s Centre and assists with the operation of the Ikenobo Edmonton Study group which also offers classes at the Edmonton Japanese Community Association. Brenda is a certified teacher with the Ikenobo School of Ikebana.

SUMMARY:Aging Smarter – Take Action & Transform Your Life!
DESCRIPTION:Join Marilyn Rolingher\, a registered psychologist\, to explore the way we age and to learn a few techniques to keep us active. \nMonday\, August 19 at 1p.m. \nThis session will be focused on new discoveries in psychology as they pertain to aging.  We will look at the current research from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other groups about aging smarter. We will look at how one’s thinking can affect not only their mental health but also their longevity. \nWe will also focus on redefining our meaning of life as we age and looking at how loss creates a vicious cycle of negativity that can lead to social isolation and a downward spiral in our mental & physical health.

SUMMARY:“The Long Cold War\, 1917 to the Present Day” with Prof. Alvin Finkel
DESCRIPTION:This course examines the origins of the huge rift between Western countries beginning with the Russian Revolution in 1917\, its temporary burial during World I\, its global reach during the period from 1945 to the 1980s\, and the failure to heal that rift either during the Gorbachev period when the Soviets sought rapprochement with the West\, or in the post-Soviet period when Russia lost its control over the other republics of the USSR as well as satellite states. The first session explores the efforts by the West to reverse the Russian Revolution militarily after World War I and then in the 1930s through encouragement of Nazi invasion and the impact on internal developments within the USSR as well as the evolution of the USSR-Allied coalition after the Nazi invasion of the USSR. \nThe second session examines various explanations for the collapse of Western-Soviet cooperation after the war\, the development of a polarized world\, and the nuclear threats from Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to Cuba in 1962. The third session discusses the contrasting views of the USSR and the US about what the other stood for and the impact on a variety of nations. While the US\, for example claimed the Cold War was about democracy versus totalitarianism\, the 50 or more cases of the US helping to overthrow elected governments raises the issue of its real aims during the Cold War just as Soviet collaborations with nationalist movements with little or no socialist component raises issues about Soviet claims that they were helping to build a world communist movement. \nThe final session looks at the decline and fall of the USSR and questions why both during the period of Soviet rapprochement with the West under Gorbachev and then with Russia during the post-Soviet period\, the two sides failed to develop common agendas that could end the Cold War.

SUMMARY:“The Long Cold War\, 1917 to the Present Day” with Prof. Alvin Finkel
DESCRIPTION:This course examines the origins of the huge rift between Western countries beginning with the Russian Revolution in 1917\, its temporary burial during World I\, its global reach during the period from 1945 to the 1980s\, and the failure to heal that rift either during the Gorbachev period when the Soviets sought rapprochement with the West\, or in the post-Soviet period when Russia lost its control over the other republics of the USSR as well as satellite states. The first session explores the efforts by the West to reverse the Russian Revolution militarily after World War I and then in the 1930s through encouragement of Nazi invasion and the impact on internal developments within the USSR as well as the evolution of the USSR-Allied coalition after the Nazi invasion of the USSR. \nThe second session examines various explanations for the collapse of Western-Soviet cooperation after the war\, the development of a polarized world\, and the nuclear threats from Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to Cuba in 1962.
