Before the Pittsburgh area became known for its steel, it was once known as the glass manufacturing center of our country. Opened in 1893, the Duncan & Miller Glass Company became famous for its workers’ skill, the artistry of designs, and the glass colors. The National Duncan Glass Society was formed in 1975 to keep alive the history of glass companies, to study their impact on the economic development of the region, and to celebrate the men and women who made it possible.
At this virtual program, a representative from Duncan & Miller Glass Museum will highlight the history of the site and what you may see during your visit. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more! Registration is required. To register, go to: https://bit.ly/3tFwTXl

GUIDED FOREST THERAPY WALK WITH FOREST AWAKENINGS
Humans evolved in relationship to the natural world but in the clamor of modern life, it’s easy to lose touch. Guided Forest Walks promote health and wellbeing by helping us slow down and connect more deeply with the natural world. Research tells us that spending time in nature not only relieves stress, it can improve sleep, cognitive and immune function and reduce blood pressure. The walk will be led by Martha O’Grady, an experienced mindfulness instructor and forest therapy guide who has been certified by the International Association for Nature and Forest Therapy.
The September walk will be a quiet amble in Bird Park with time for personal exploration, sharing observations and enjoying tea brewed from local plants. Please wear comfortable clothing, dress for the weather and bring a bottle of water.
The walk will be led by Martha O’Grady, a forest therapy guide certified by the International Association for Nature and Forest Therapy.

Yin Yoga is slow-paced and meditative in nature and serves to complement to more active yoga (Yang) styles. Yin Yoga emphasizes passive postures held for several minutes at a time, with muscles in a relaxed state. The connective tissue in and around the muscles and joints is targeted. Ultimately, Yin Yoga promotes the vitality, hydration, mobility and strength of the connective tissue. It also enhances a balanced flow of energetic circulation leading to a state of calmness, contentment and an overall lasting feeling of relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat, a pillow, and beach towel to support your practice. Registration required to get Zoom link. Registration is for the entire series and you need not cancel unless you are cancelling for the whole series.
Virtual Yin Yoga will be conducted via the free video conferencing software Zoom and a Library staff member will be supervising the session. The Librarian coordinating the event will email each registrant a Zoom meeting invitation before the start of the program. Zoom is available as a free desktop (for Windows, MacOS, and Linux Operating systems) and mobile application for Android and Apple iOS devices. Once Zoom is installed, you will be able to join the virtual Library program.

Saturday, September 17th at 2 pm on the Southminster Manse Lawn across from the Library for this Welcoming Week Performance
Join Chris Young , owner of Gong Lung or Steel Dragon, a martial arts and lion dance studio in Ice House Studios in Lawrenceville, along with his Lions Dance troupe for an outdoor live Lion Dance performance on the Manse lawn across from the library.
The lion dance has a continuous history of over one thousand years, and its origins may reach back more than two thousand years. Many stories surround the lion dance and its origins. One of the more popular ones is that an Emperor of China had a dream where a creature resembling a lion saved his life from evil spirits. When he woke, he declared the lion a symbol of good fortune. However, since lions are not native to China, artisans had no idea what they look like. As a result, they fashioned an animal with the attributes of other fortunate creatures: the dragon, the phoenix and the dog.
There is perhaps no art that encompasses Chinese culture, history and philosophy more comprehensively than lion dance. Over its long history, lion dance has incorporated elements of Chinese opera, classics of Chinese literature, Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian philosophies, Five Element theory, all sorts of varieties of symbolism from Chinese (and most specifically Cantonese) society, and Chinese martial arts.
The lion dance is now an integral part of not just Chinese culture, but of many Southeast Asian cultures such as Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese. In fact, the most famous teams are probably from Malaysia.
