SUMMARY:Tai Chi and Qigong
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the many benefits of tai chi and qigong through the exploration of movements and principles. These beginning classes are beneficial for people of all levels of fitness—developing awareness\, relaxation\, energy\, flexibility\, strength\, balance\, and pleasure in the open air. \n\n\n\nTai Chi meets in the Amphitheatre every Monday and Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. \n\n\n\n\nAnna Dembska is a certified teacher of Yang Family tai chi.

Anna is a singer\, composer\, and voice teacher by profession\, and her tai chi teaching is informed by its many similarities with vocal technique\, which she has been practicing and teaching for many years. \n\n\n\nClasses are by donation\, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Camden Public Library. For more information contact Anna at camdentaiji@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n(Emailing Anna is strongly encouraged so that you can be contacted in case the class is canceled and to confirm if the class will happen in the Amphitheatre or on the Upper Lawn.)

Rich has ingeniously crafted a seductive bull’s-eye thriller.” —Donna Seaman\, Booklist (starred review)Why settle for nothing\, when you can steal everything? \n\n\n\nForget banks\, casinos\, museums—society’s most valuable treasure sits in the giant\, anonymous data centers that power modern life. There\, in endless rows of hard drives\, lies the sum of our civilization’s knowledge\, all of the world’s personal and private truths\, uploaded and saved. They wait unseen\, unexploited\, and\, most critically\, unguarded. \n\n\n\nTim is a climate journalist disillusioned with chronicling the end of the world. Virginia is an evasive\, paranoid\, and technologically savvy con artist who has found an ingenious way to live off the grid in the heart of Manhattan. Joined by desire and desperation\, they hatch a plan to steal secrets. But they have secrets of their own—secrets they can’t tell each other\, secrets that could destroy them both… \n\n\n\nWith their last few dollars and some dimestore wigs they set out for the outskirts of Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, the unlikely site of the world’s largest repository of knowledge—a data center the size of a small city—to attempt a brazen heist that\, whether they fail or succeed\, will change their lives forever. \n\n\n\nBut the heist is only the beginning. \n\n\n\nFrom the award-winning author Nathaniel Rich\, Cloudthief is a heist novel for a new era\, in which the most valuable things in life are virtual\, privacy is a sick joke\, and security is relative. After all is lost\, what remains? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Nathaniel Rich\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNathaniel Rich is the author of Cloudthief (2026) and three previous novels\, all New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice selections: King Zeno (2018); Odds Against Tomorrow (2013); and The Mayor’s Tongue (2008).

SUMMARY:Camden Philosophical Society: "Art as Experience"
DESCRIPTION:The July 21st session will\, as usual\, be a hybrid gathering from 3:30-5:30 pm EDT on the third Tuesday of the month. All are welcome to participate\, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom. That goes for visitors\, as well as year-rounders in Maine\, and friends of the society wherever you may be. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to join via Zoom\, please email sewright772@gmail.com. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the day of the meeting. Click on the “Join Zoom Meeting” link in that invitation at the time of the event. \n\n\n\nOn July 21\, the Camden Philosophical Society will continue their exploration of Dewey’s ideas as they relate to art. Greg Fahy will present a brief introduction to Art as Experience. Here Dewey provides us with an account of art that is entirely continuous with his account of experience that we read about last month.  \n\n\n\nPlease read all of chapter 1 “The Live Creature” (pages 3-19) and also the first few pages of chapter 3 “Having an Experience” (p. 35 to the top of p. 41).  All pages are within the pdf text. Art as Experience can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe work of art is not a museum piece or a score of music\, but instead is what is done in and to the experiences of living creatures. Aesthetic experience is a particular quality of experience. Most experience\, Dewey concedes\, is not particularly aesthetic\, but when we say that we have had an experience\, that indicates a kind of wholeness and integration of the different elements of experience that can make an experience aesthetic.  \n\n\n\nToo often\, Dewey argues\, art is separated from life and put on a pedestal (literally)\, entirely separate from the experiences of the people and cultures that created that art. In many cases\, we struggle to bring the piece of art in the museum back to the aesthetic experiences of human beings. We can spend some time on Dewey’s critique of museums if we wish.  But the larger concern for Dewey are the divisions that our culture creates between the artist and the viewer as well as between ordinary experience and aesthetic experience. We might explore what it might mean to create more aesthetic experience within our everyday lives.
