New classes in Personal Enrichment!

Published on April 29, 2008 in Computers, Personal Enrichment and UNM Continuing Education. Closed

Ready for something different this summer? How about a fun class you’ve never tried before:

What can a Laughter Workshop bring you? How about six simple practices to take home that will put more laughter in your life? This is a fun, fast-paced workshop. Laughter is a superlative stress-reducer and energy-booster. Resiliency, teamwork and creativity are all enhanced by laughter. Laugh with us!

When Chef Gilda Latzky pointed out that cookies are like the jewels in a kaleidoscope, we couldn’t help but agree! If you can resist the super selection you make in this fun cookie class, you can freeze them and keep them handy for gift-giving or ready for unexpected company.

Our wonderful yoga program is growing! Yoga is beneficial physically and mentally and alleviates all kinds of health conditions. There’s a greater selection in our Summer program, with new classes such as Sloga Yoga, Yoga for Grief, Yoga for Chronic Conditions and more. Visit our Health & Relaxation courses to see the complete list for summer.

We weren’t going to mention food prices, but if we were, we could point out that Chef Gilda Latzky’s class on Grains, Beans and Rice is just the ticket. Learn to make tasty meals from economical staples in a practical class that will improve your understanding of cooking — with healthy eating as a bonus!

We have many more great ideas! Register early, as popular classes fill fast. Chef Scott Clapp rolled out “29 & Dine” classes last semester, where students learn to bring a healthy dinner to the table in less than 30 minutes, and they filled up right away! Choose from Italian, New Mexican or Chinese cuisine. This semester, Scott introduces Foods of New Mexico to teach good ol’ down home cooking — the basics of making items such as enchiladas and sopaipillas.

Click here to see all of the new classes at once to see what might be new to you! Arts, crafts, cooking and communication as well as humanities, health & relaxation, home & garden, languages, music and writing for an inspiring summer in the Personal Enrichment Program!
