Heal your mind and body and awaken your inner spirit, through art and excercise! The NCMACC is pleased to
announce that its new ˇ°extended programˇ± of exciting new offerings tailored primarily towards adults will begin
this month. Combining classical art and fitness instruction, NCMACC staff have organized four new
classes: Asian art; European Art; Tai Chi and Taekwondo.
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn skills developed over hundreds of years. Through subtle
movements of the brush or the body, you can learn to create space for peaceful and imaginative thought.
With our lives so packed full of responsibilities, it is important to find time for tranquil moments. We
hope to extend the benefits of art and martial arts education to all members of our community. Come join us!
