Leedy Grange Flea Market newsFirst Saturday of each month, 10 am-3 pm, Leedy Grange Hall, 835 NW Saltzman The Flea Market, sponsored by Leedy Grange, has changed the closing time to 3 pm. The table fee has been raised to $15. For more information, visit the website, leedygrange.org or contact Market Manager Jeanine Claar at cedarmillfelamarket@gmail.com Wine Cellar Coravin—High-End Wines by the GlassWednesday- Saturday, 11 am-9 pm The Wine Cellar has great news; the Coravin Wine Systems have (finally) arrived! They have one available as a demo and also have them available for retail sales at $299 each. What is the Coravin? It is a hand-held device which allows you to extract a small or large amount of wine from a sealed wine bottle by replacing the wine with argon gas through a very thin needle. Bottles are still sealed and, despite having had wine removed, are still considered unopened and age as such. The Coravin allows The Wine Cellar to now offer 30 high-end wines, by the ounce for tasting, or by the glass. Because the bottles are not opened, they can offer these samples and glasses as a fraction of the cost you'd normally see at a restaurant environment. The one-ounce samples allow you to taste an expensive wine before you buy it, insuring that you're not wasting money on a wine that you don't love. The Coravin allows you better control when you drink your high-end wine. You can now remove just a tiny sample of a bottle to see how well it is aging, and if it's ready to be opened and enjoyed. It also allows you to enjoy high-end wines without having to open the whole bottle. This is the most exciting application because you no longer risk wasting expensive wines by opening and not finishing a bottle, and it also helps with portion control, because you won't feel the pressure to not waste the wine. Imagine having a glass of exactly what you want, what you're in the mood for, what pairs with your meal and having the exact amount that you want. That's fantastic! The new Coravin wine system will be fully running by April 1st. Guests can enjoy nearly 50 wines at The Wine Cellar. Please come by and take a look at their demo or buy a glass of Silver Oak Alexander Valley ($35) or Caymus ($25).

Eight Saturdays, beginning April 18, 12 pm-1 pm, $130 Experiencing Compassion in our Daily Lives: Living with Tenderness, Fierceness, and Wisdom: An eight-week skills-development course with Kim Voyle, Ph.D. State of the art science has established that from the moment we are born until the moment we die, our experience of compassion will directly shape how healthy, happy and effective we can be. Increasingly, we find compassion to be a central and active process in psychological change and human well-being. As the Dalai Lama has said, “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” The basis for this training has been developed by Dr. Paul Gilbert of the University of Derby, in the United Kingdom who has spent many years with a number of other psychologists researching ways to apply compassion to many areas of life including self-criticism, depression, worry, anxiety, management in organizations, and many other areas of human experience. He developed Compassionate Mind Training, a systematic mode of training the mind to cultivate mindfulness, compassion and the ability to take effective action to prevent and alleviate the suffering we find in our world and in ourselves. This workshop will be focused around personal practice. It will enable people to gain personal experience of various mindfulness and compassion practices drawn from a combination of Western therapeutic and Buddhist approaches as outlined in Mindful Compassion (2013) by Paul and Choden. This practice workshop will introduce a range of breathing, body focusing, and imagery practices in a step-by-step way that supports the development of a mindful compassionate self, and learning how to focus it for the benefit of self and others.
