The Natural Family Planning Center of Central Pennsylvania offers a free hour-long Introduction to the Ovulation Method of Natural Family Planning on Saturday, January 26, at 2 pm in the Community Room in Schlow Centre Region Library, 211 S. Allen St., State College. The Ovulation Method allows couples to confidently identify their times of fertility and infertility. In addition, it provides new hope for infertility, as a woman can identify her time of peak fertility and use this to conceive. Topics to be covered include the simple and natural observations of a woman's signs of fertility, charting those observations; and identifying the times of fertility, infertility, and peak fertility. The Ovulation Method is 99% effective to avoid a pregnancy when taught by a qualified professional. For couples struggling to achieve a pregnancy, the Ovulation Method has an effectiveness rate of 20-40% from knowledge of the woman's fertility cycle alone. The session is free. For information, contact the Natural Family Planning Center of Central Pennsylvania at <fertility.appreciation@gmail.com>. Free parking is available beside the library during the event.

This introductory class is designed for beginners or as a refresher to the process. You will learn how to identify different brain states that hijack your ability to move forward, and experience powerful meditational tools that can reverse that process. You’ll get hands-on experience in the Neurosculpting® modality of meditation and brain entrainment to see if this process is right for you.
The Neurosculpting® practice is designed to help you prime your brain for optimal engagement. This is the standard induction for ALL Neurosculpting® meditations. As a stand-alone meditation this is great for quieting the fight-or-flight response and bringing exercise to your higher-level executive attention centers. It’s simple, direct, and very powerful.
In simple terms, Neurosculpting® is a 5-step meditation process that can strategically help an individual release the grip of old patterns and entrain their brain to create new and more supportive patterns, habits and behaviors.
A Class to learn the InDesign program of Graphic Arts and Web Design.
Dates are Aug. 24,25,26,31,and Sept. 1 and 2. Classes are 6-9pm. Fee $379.

Outdoor and Recreation
Getting Cabin Fever? Get ready to bundle up and head outdoors to the Village Ice Rink at Blue Spring Park, located in Harris Township at 230 Wagner St., Boalsburg.
This activity is FREE and fun for kids of all ages! Once it is opened, the on-ground ice rink (45’ x 80’) is totally dependant upon colder weather and the commitment of community volunteers to maintain the ice.
This is "natural ice" so we must wait until temperatures permit the ice to form. “Hockey-only” times are Mon & Thurs 3-5:30pm only.
Please call the “CRPR Ice Line” (tape message) at 234-7146 for current rink conditions (once the rink is open).
If there’s snow, you gotta go sledding. Slab Cabin Park, located in College Township at 316 Elmwood St., Lemont, has the best sledding slope around - and it's FREE!
The whole family is sure to enjoy this Centre Region wintertime tradition during daylight, or under the lights from 5-11 PM, conditions-permitting. Please note the slope rules, shown below. The slope is open as conditions permit. Shake off the winter chill and warm up around the fire ring.
