Jody's Documentary SeriesLast Wednesday of each month, 1:00
Held at Merriam Park Library, 1831 Marshall Ave. October 30 Beyond Hoarding Filmmaker: David C. Coffin (Running time: 54 min.) It's shameful. Anxiety-ridden. Dangerous. What hoarding is not is as simple as, "Hey, you, clean up and clear out that disastrous mess! Or someone'll do it for you, whether you like it or not." Meet five people who in varying degrees, have hoarding disorder. Up to 19 million of Americans do. You may know someone yourself. But what you may not know about the disorder or them, could surprise you. Film aficionado Jody Huber introduces a thought-provoking documentary each month. After each film, Jody provides updated information and leads a casual group discussion. Snacks provided. Please join us for Jody's Documentary Film Series -- you'll be glad you did! Contact [email protected] or (651) 209-6542 for more information. |

Most of the class is done seated, working on relaxation, proper breathing, stretching, flexibility and upper body strength.
