Qigong Classes - Winter/Spring 2025
2025-04-29 10:00 - 11:00 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
Would you like to engage in a practice of joy, calm, and empowerment? Support your health and well-being by joining our Qigong classes on Tuesday mornings!
Classes will be held on Tuesdays, 10am-11am.
​Teacher-guided breathing exercises to optimize “Qi” circulation to regulate our mind and body’s movement and posture – providing a sense of joy and calm. Qigong is an old, developing discipline that combines breathing exercises, movement, self-massage, gong meditation, and healing postures to provide a comprehensive approach to self-healing exercise and meditation.
Is this for you? Whether you are new to Qigong, or have previous experience, you will enjoy this one-hour meditative exercise that will include qigong theory and philosophy, self-massage, Daoyin, Five-Animal Frolics, 8 Silk Brocade, 18 Forms, Six Healing Sounds, and gong meditation.
Some of the benefits of Qigong:
-promotes relaxation and good health
-improves balance and flexibility
-relieves stress and fatigue
-strengthens body and mind
What’s the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi? Both Tai Chi and Qigong are great forms of health and healing, but:
-Qigong is easy to learn, and it can be practiced at home regularly, while Tai Chi requires memorization of movements in sequence
-There are infinite numbers of Qigong styles that suit everyone’s level, while Tai Chi movements can be longer and more challenging
-Qigong exercises can be practiced while sitting, standing, or lying down, while Tai Chi is a continuous and moving meditation
Register HERE for Qigong unless you have taken a class with Rosie at UUCGL before.
Please try out the first class for free, and if you choose to continue you may pay at the next class. There is an advance fee of $10 per class for a series of 12 classes ($120) as a commitment to the series and a way to show that you value the teacher and the teachings. Partial and full financial waivers are available by request.

The Open Door Mobile Market
2025-05-14 11:00 - 12:00 | North Shore Community College, 300 Broad Street, Lynn, MA, 01901, United States
The Open Door, a food resource center based in Gloucester which serves 11+ cities and towns, has a FREE mobile market twice monthly at the North Shore Community College Lynn Campus at 300 Broad Street. During the school year, The Open Door Mobile Market is available on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm. The last Mobile Market for this school year in Lynn is on Wednesday, May 28.

The purpose of the program is to connect students to free, nutritious food including fresh fruit and vegetables, dried goods, “Build-a-Meal” recipe kits, and more.

The program came about as a result of a survey conducted by NSCC in 2016 on Hunger and Homelessness which found that 70% of students at the school were struggling with food and/or housing insecurity. Students from Gloucester, Lynn, Saugus and Salem were the most vulnerable with between 62-93 percent of students from those towns needing nutrition support services.

2025 Paul Revere’s Bike Ride
2025-05-17 | Multiple locations, please see listing for more info.
Be part of re-enacting revolutionary local history – on your bike
In 1775, on the night of April 18 into the wee hours of ApriI 19, militia members from around what is now Greater Boston responded to an alarm spread by Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. The British were heading to Concord to seize militia weapons and supplies. Minute men from more than 20 communities, including Lynn, marched in some cases over 25 miles to stop the British in Concord and sparked this nation’s fight for independence.
Can you imagine how much faster they could have made the trip to Concord if they had bikes? This year, during Bike Month in May, you will have a chance to experience just that.
On Saturday, May 17, a group of cyclists will re-enact the rides of Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott to spread the warning that “the Regulars are coming out!” To complete this re-enactment, bicyclists are invited to ride to Concord from surrounding cities and towns. There is no set route for the ride from Lynn to Concord or from the other towns. The organizers are leaving that to the groups from each town but would be happy to help them design a route if they reach out. As they get closer to Concord, they will likely be able to pick up a route that roughly approximates that taken by the minute men in 1775.
That same day there is a fundraising ride for the Concord Museum with 21- and 32-mile loop options. The re-enactment of the militia response is not part of the museum event, but organizers hope riders arrive in Concord from all over by 9:30, to be recognized before the museum ride rolls out at 10.
Interested in being part of the militia response by bike? Contact Tim Wilson at twilson@diabetes.org to learn more about this revolutionary event marking 250 years since Revere’s original ride.
If you want to learn more about Paul Revere’s Bike Ride in support of the Concord Museum and register please click here
Net proceeds from Paul Revere’s Ride will support the Museum’s educational programs, making it possible for more than 14,000 schoolchildren to learn from their unique collection and expert educators.
