SUMMARY:Secrets for Aging Healthily and Happily
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nIn thinking about how to live healthily and happily\, we need to draw on many wisdoms\, those of the ancient world\, the Indigenous world\, the non Western world\, and modern science. Unhealthy living contributes to huge societal costs. My focus will be on strategies to realize a “health dividend” for both individuals and societies. My talk will share some research I have been doing on “how not to get old” and achieve lifelong vitality. A major theme of course is that healthy and happy living go hand in hand. The “secrets” to happy and healthy living will be revealed. \nAbout the Presenter: \nGerald W. Fry is a Distinguished International Professor at the University of Minnesota. He received his BA from Stanford University\, a MPA from Princeton\, and his Ph.D. from Stanford University. Previously Dr. Fry was a professor of political science at the University of Oregon where he directed the International Studies Program and the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies. He has taught at Stanford and many universities in Southeast Asia. He was a Pew Fellow at the Kennedy School at Harvard.

SUMMARY:Qigong for Organ System Balance - Morning Course
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nDuring our 6-session morning course\, we will focus on a series of standing movement and breathing exercises with the intention of strengthening selected internal organ systems. We will begin by focusing on the stomach organ system\, which plays a major role in digestive health\, as well as the health of our other organ systems. During the latter part of the course\, we will use the same exercises to introduce how to balance some of the Yin organ systems\, such as the spleen and pancreas. Over the length of the course\, participants will gradually learn basic Yin-Yang theory through the body practice. Time for Q&A and discussion will be included at the end of each session to solidify our understanding of the exercises’ benefits for the health of our internal organs\, especially as we get older. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. \n*Morning course participants are highly recommended to continue for the afternoon course\, which will provide a deeper theoretical understanding of the organ systems and meridian alignment.

SUMMARY:Expressing “Thainess” at 7-Eleven
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n7-Eleven stores are strikingly important in modern Thai life. Over a couple of decades their significance has become increasingly clear to the presenter. One obvious indicator is the ubiquity of their distinctive red\, white\, green\, and orange signs across the country. Their importance is also demonstrated in less obvious ways: \n\nFormer rice farmers now purchase their former crop at raan sewen.\nRural dwellers rate the modernity of their community based on the presence or absence of a store.\nThais of all religious and ethnic groups are frequent customers.\nMembers of the Buddhist majority are likely to “attend” their neighborhood store more often than they attend their\nAnd TV commercials for consumer products routinely note the availability of beauty products or snacks at the nearby 7-Eleven.\n\nThe approach used does not rely on surveys\, statistical analysis or detailed interviews. Instead\, insights are based on observation\, rumination and photography during random visits to a cross-section of stores in Chiangmai and` rural areas. Five stores that are diverse in location and customer base: “hip urban\,” “university and highway-adjacent\,” “peri-urban market complex\,” “rural market area\,”\, and “genuinely rural\,”provide rich opportunities for rumination and comparison. \nTopics covered correspond roughly to the geography of products for sale at representative raan sewen. For example: \n\nJust inside the door of any 7-Eleven there is a supply of “urgent need” items—condoms\, batteries\, diarrhea and headache remedies.\nBehind the cash counter customers find an impressive array of hard liquor and wine\, with beer in a distant cooler.\nMany stores also have elaborate coffee-making equipment behind the counter\, where customers order hot americanos or iced lattes. Other stores\, perhaps with a different customer base\, lack this service.\nIn any 7-Eleven the most important products are snacks on open shelves and microwave-ready prepared dishes found in freezer cases. [Dozens of YouTube videos examine these products.]\nAnd there are dozens of other product lines worthy of examination and speculation: dairy products\, baked goods\, grooming and beauty items for women and men\, peripheral equipment for mobile phones and computers\, children’s toys\, soft drinks\, juices\, bottled water\, and miscellaneous-and-surprising items.\n\nIndividual items and product lines are examined from a variety of viewpoints: Does a product reflect Thai traditional culture\, or adaptations of tradition\, or adoption of global culture\, or brilliant innovations? Are there urban/rural differences in stocking particular items? Or are class or age differences reflected in particular items found on shelves? \nThe presentation will examine 7-Eleven stores and their customers from a number of viewpoints. The purpose is not to present final conclusions\, but to observe\, speculate\, and stimulate discussion. After I have my say\, I hope audience members will enrich this session by offering their own observations and speculations. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Qigong for Organ System Balance - Morning Course
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nDuring our 6-session morning course\, we will focus on a series of standing movement and breathing exercises with the intention of strengthening selected internal organ systems. We will begin by focusing on the stomach organ system\, which plays a major role in digestive health\, as well as the health of our other organ systems. During the latter part of the course\, we will use the same exercises to introduce how to balance some of the Yin organ systems\, such as the spleen and pancreas. Over the length of the course\, participants will gradually learn basic Yin-Yang theory through the body practice. Time for Q&A and discussion will be included at the end of each session to solidify our understanding of the exercises’ benefits for the health of our internal organs\, especially as we get older. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. \n*Morning course participants are highly recommended to continue for the afternoon course\, which will provide a deeper theoretical understanding of the organ systems and meridian alignment.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Land Book Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nBook Title: Enchanted Land. Foreign Writings about Chiang Mai in the Early 20th Century (River Books 2023) \nFormat: Illustrated Introduction by the Editor (Graham Jefcoate) with Readings from the Book \nIn the years between 1867 and 1941\, Chiang Mai and northern Siam (the present-day north of Thailand) was home to a small but influential community of farang or western foreigners. The westerners who came to live and work in the north during this period fell generally into three main categories: missionaries associated with the American Presbyterian Mission; the so-called “teak-wallahs”\, as the managers and assistants employed by the foreign forestry companies were known; and government officials\, who were either foreign diplomats or specialists working for the Siamese government. The improved accessibility of the region created by the expansion railway network also meant that\, by the mid-1920s\, more recreational travellers were visiting the north. \nMany of these residents and visitors and wrote about their lives\, their work and experiences in the north in the form of letters\, reports\, magazine articles\, memoirs\, novels\, short stories and even poetry. The present book provides a selection of their writings\, very few of which are currently in print or easily available. The writings are personal and often vivid. As Ben Svasti has said\, in the book you “can almost hear them chatting away about their work\, their dinner parties\, their club\, the climate\, insect pests and elephants in this enchanted land so distant in so many ways from their homelands in the west.” \nProgramme: \nAfter an introduction and some readings from the book there will be the opportunity to ask questions\, buy copies (at a special discount) and have them signed by the editor. \nThere will also be a display of some of the rare books on which Enchanted Land is based and an opportunity to see other rare books in the Lifelong Learning Center Library. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Holistic Self-Care & Natural Living in our Golden Years
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nQigong for Balancing Body & Mind as we Age (Morning Course) \nIn this 6-session course\, we will explore a series of standing Qigong movement and breathing exercises to build body awareness\, improve physical balance\, and develop skillful reflexes to protect against harmful falls. Throughout the course\, students will be encouraged to think more broadly about the concept “balance\,” as it applies to both body and mind\, and how to improve it with calmness\, confidence\, and ease. We will also learn about preventative care for osteoporosis\, arthritis\, and other degenerative diseases. Course activities will include a combination of standing and dynamic exercises\, seated meditation\, and theory based in traditional Thai and Chinese Medicine. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. \nHolistic Self-care & Natural Living in our Golden Years (Afternoon Course) \nIn this 6-session course\, we will draw from the ancient wisdom of Traditional Thai and Chinese Medicines to naturally optimize health in our “Golden Age.” Each week\, classes will begin with a series of seated Qigong movement and breathing exercises targeted to reverse joint degeneration\, build sensation & strength in the legs and feet\, and improve overall physical vitality. Following the exercise portion of class\, we will introduce a topic focused on natural living\, specifically for seniors. Topics will range from personal constitution analysis based in Element Theory\, to learning how to work with our body’s natural “organ clock\,” to using scent and taste as powerful medicines for our physical & mental wellbeing. Practical self-care tools\, such as gentle self-acupressure massage and mind-balancing meditation\, will also be takeaways from the course. Weekly course materials are designed to synergize together for a well-rounded introduction to holistic living.
