Dr. Ahmad, a Curators' Distinguished Teaching Professor Emerita of American history at the <a href="https://www.mst.edu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Missouri University of Science and Technology</a>, will be giving a presentation about sea life around the Pacific Islands during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the late 1800s, Americans who sailed to the Pacific Islands noticed many things in the ocean. Some creatures reminded them of the wolves, prairie dogs, or antelope they saw on the Great Plains. Some of the travelers soon considered the creatures their friends or admired the inhabitants for their shapes and colors. Others studied them scientifically. Their observations enlivened the five-day to five-week journey and made it more pleasurable.

Dr. Ahmad specializes in history of the American West, including animals on the overland trails and the expansion of the U.S. into the Pacific. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Missouri in 1997. Originally from Milwaukee, Diana attended UWM (BA, 1974; MA, 1979) where she studied American history with Dr. Reginald Horsman.

This program will take place in the Multi-purpose Room and is geared toward adults. Registration is recommended and opens April 1. Register by visiting <a href="https://oakcreeklibrary.org/events?fbclid=IwAR2rc1nFW7mFk-1mSpBRRKsjWsG-dsKLMWarhnxgwf-T9MkjKebo5T6R6rk" rel="nofollow" tabindex="0" target="_blank">oakcreeklibrary.org/events</a> or over the phone by calling 414-766-7900.

Join Christina for a conscious, controlled meditation with breathing techniques that can induce the relaxation response and transform stress, anxiety, pain, and depression into positive states and well-being. During your class expect to spend at least 30 minutes in active breathing patterns followed by a guided meditation. This is an active meditation style that will give you something to focus on. Breathwork is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head and connect to both your body and your intuition. For many people, it facilitates an emotional purging, leaving you feeling lighter and clearer. In essence, you are relearning to inhabit your body, establish new pathways in the brain, and cultivate emotional and relational intelligence. Benefits of Breathwork: <ul><li>Increase parasympathetic tone (moving you from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘rest and digest’)</li><li>Reduce stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger</li><li>Increase energy levels and boost your body’s immune system</li><li>Increase your self-awareness, presence, happiness, and access to joy</li><li>Increase your capacity for self-love by bringing you into your body and seeing your truth</li><li>Improve sleep, releases trauma, and fear stuck in the body</li><li>Reduce pain and release toxins from the body</li><li>Improve digestion</li><li>Explore altered states of consciousness, consciously!</li></ul>
Gathering limited to 15 participants. Please wear comfortable, loose clothes and bring water and chapstick as your mouth may get dry. Journal optional but recommended. If you're pregnant or have any diagnosed health issues (especially lung problems), please check with your doctor before starting breathwork. Christina Nelson of Calm Peaceful Life is a Registered Nurse certified in breathwork and meditation. She is passionate about helping others learn to cope with and utilize their feelings to live their best life. Her mission is to create a more connected, vibrant, healthy world.
