Class will teach mindful movement BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Sore muscles led Andrew Horn to develop a class to help others improve their movement. Horn, the farm manager of Horn Farm for Agricultural Education, witnessed the physical demands his body endured while working in the farm field and forest. “After a few years of heavy work and repetitive tasks, I wanted to find movements or
exercises that helped to prepare my body for those tasks and also recover,” he said. “I did not find a typical workout in the gym to be helpful with the array of dynamic demands one might be confronted with at a place like the Horn Farm, so I started to incorporate things like MovNat (natural movement), yoga, bodyweight exercises and injury prevention exercises.” Horn will take what he’s learned See Class pg 2

The event will be held on Friday, Aug. 18, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. in the River Room at John Wright Restaurant, 234 N. Front St., Wrightsville. “We will have some really great catered food, a cash bar and some samples from area vineyards and breweries,” said Bill Wright, director of community giving for SNHA. “We’ll have live jazz music from Tom Pontz, and we’ll have a silent auction with items and experiences related to SNHA.” Auction items will include a sunset cruise for 12 on the Chief Uncas, SNHA’s vintage 1912 electric vessel; a weekend getaway at Rock Lititz Hotel; art from a local artist; a guided hike
Wright Restaurant is especially appropriate, he noted, because the site overlooks the river. “It’s a special location, on the second floor, and it offers a really beautiful view of the river and the Memorial Bridge between Columbia and Wrightsville,” he said. Along with food and entertainment, the Summer Soiree will feature an opportunity for people to hear updates from SNHA on current projects as well as information about future projects. “The Summer Soiree is a nice way for people to directly support what we’re doing, meet some really interesting people and talk to people who are making SNHA possible,” Wright remarked. Tickets are available on a firstcome, first-served basis. To purchase tickets for the Summer Soiree, visit h t t p s : / / s u s q n h a . o r g / programs/snha_soiree.
