Starting Thursday, February 13th, we will be holding our six-week Dragon's Way Qigong class for Spring in Chatham, NY.

Over our six classes, you will learn and practice 10 ancient movements with a certified instructor in the lineage of Grand Master Nan Lu. Qi is your life-force, your energy, and these 10 movements will help improve Qi flow, balance, flexibility, and overall wellness. What makes our classes different from most is that you also will learn about the Five Element Framework, how you can add to your Qi, and how you can stop draining your Qi on your journey to self-healing. This work can help address chronic pain and joint stiffness, poor digestion, weight loss, headaches, stress and anxiety, sleep disorders, arthritis, and overall fatigue.

This Spring, you can choose to attend the classes on Thursday mornings at The Morris Memorial @ 9:15 am to 10:30 am. or on Thursday evenings at St. James Church Hall @ 6:15 pm to 7: 30 pm, both in Chatham.

Turn out for Community Soup Night at Left Bank Ciders to support Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM! There will be soups, a live on-site broadcast of the "WGXC Afternoon Show" hosted by Selha Graham and Tom DePietro, and DJ sets by WGXC Volunteer Programmers Yeshi (NORMLRadio) and Theo Baker (Infinite Contact)! Come on out for cozy soup, conversation, and some tunes. All proceeds go to Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM.

Each Thursday night January through May, Left Bank Ciders hosts Community Soup Night, where volunteers make soup with proceeds benefiting a local non-profit. This fun and successful evening raises significant funds for organizations close to Left Bank Ciders’ hearts, and we couldn’t be more grateful that they’ve chosen WGXC as the beneficiary!

7:30 p.m. Screening Pump Up the Volume (1990, dir. Allan Moyle)
Introverted teen by day, anonymous pirate radio provocateur by night, Mark Hunter (Christian Slater) shares his angst via a shortwave radio in his parents’ basement. Hunter’s trash-talking persona Hard Harry gives voice to the growing discontent of his fellow youth and, with encouragement from the rebellious Nora (Samantha Mathis), he soon becomes the reluctant leader of a suburban revolution. With an iconic 90’s soundtrack featuring The Beastie Boys, Leonard Cohen, The Pixies, and more, Pump Up the Volume is an unforgettable cult classic that will have you eating your cereal with a fork and doing your homework in the dark.
