Join us for an October Yoga Series- Vinyasa Flow, Tuesdays, October 6, 13, 20, 27, 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Join Yoga instructor Heather from 2 Crows and a Raven Yoga for an October of Vinyasa Flow sessions. Participate in one or more of the classes. This is a practice that combines movement with breath, where the transition between each posture aligns seamlessly with the pace and strength of your breath. Traditional yoga asanas (postures) are utilized to form a flow that is unique to each time that you practice. The sequence often has a focusing posture that all preceding postures lead up to, helping you achieve the focus posture.

Join us for Chester County Library Trust Presents Dr. Adele Lindenmeyr, Thursday, September 17, 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Dr. Adele Lindenmeyr is Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences at Villanova University. She will discuss her new book Citizen Countess: Sofia Panina and the Fate of the Russian Revolution.

Countess Sofia Panina lived a remarkable life. Born into an aristocratic family in imperial Russia, she found her true calling in improving the lives of urban workers. Her passion for social service and reputation as the “Red Countess” led her to political prominence after the fall of the Romanovs. She became the first woman to hold a cabinet position and the first political prisoner tried by the Bolsheviks. The upheavals of the 1917 Revolution forced her to flee her beloved country, but instead of living a quiet life in exile she devoted the rest of her long life to humanitarian efforts on behalf of fellow refugees.

Based on Adele Lindenmeyr’s detailed research in dozens of archival collections, Citizen Countess establishes Sofia Panina as an astute eyewitness to and passionate participant in the historical events that shaped her life. Her experiences shed light on the evolution of the European nobility, women’s emancipation and political influence of the time, and the fate of Russian liberalism.
