It wasn’t until her final year in college that she was introduced to yoga and discovered its holistic approach to health and the vital importance of the mind-body connection. After 15 years of practice, Sharon became a yoga teacher in 2015 and continued her studies in child and restorative yoga. Additionally, she has studied Ayurveda at the Himalayan Institute and has received certifications as an Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist and Ayurvedic Health Counselor.

Digging into Native History in NH

Tuesday Oct 4, 6PM

ZOOM

Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go "underground," concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Professor Robert Goodby reveals archeological evidence that shows their deep presence here, inches below the earth's surface.

Robert Goodby is Professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University. He earned his PhD in anthropology from Brown University and has over thirty years of experience excavating Native American archeological sites in New England. He is a past president of the New Hampshire Archeological Society, a former Trustee of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, and served on the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs.
