We all experience moments in our lives where we might feel stuck, unsure, or stagnant or we find ourselves helping others through similar situations. in our 2-part workshop we will talk about how to engage in intentional conversa - tion through the framework of life-coaching in the realms of personal goals, personal well- ness, and/or social relationships. one session will focus on peer-coaching with others and one session will focus on self-coaching. Both sessions will include guided activities, fun conversation, and robust discussion. you will learn the fundamentals of coaching, coach a partner, and receive coaching yourself on the situation of your choice. instruCtor: Meagon Clarkson-guyll & Danielle Dunn Bopp dAY/dAte: thursdays, 9/23/21 - 9/30/21 (2) tiMe: 10:00 aM - 12:00 PM ForMAt: in-Person LoCAtion: Drake Cost: $25.00 olli Member $40.00 non-olli Member onsC: FALL FoLiAge guided tour desCriPtion: Come join our team of teacher naturalists as we walk the trails at ozark natural science Center and view the beautiful changing of the seasons. this two- hour hike is an easy to moderate walk along a dirt trail through the Bear hollow woods. learn about the plants, birds and animals of the ozarks as we will walk to Wishing rock and see the canopy below spread out in all its glory.

By 1950, it found itself along a major Cold War fault line as well. hostilities there produced global fears of an incipient third world war, ravaged Korean society -- some three million Koreans died, and committed america to containing com - munism in asia. the 1953 armistice ended the heavy fighting but left Korea divided. two vastly different societies and economies would develop, in many ways mirroring the communist/capitalist schism that emerged in the late 20th century. though it became the "forgotten War," the conflict and its presumed lessons shaped how u.s. leaders handled events in vietnam and elsewhere. in short, David Prentice, who holds a Ph.D. in the his - tory of u.s. foreign relations, will examine the Korean War, its legacies and its impact on america and the modern world. *note: this is a blended course. each week, participants will receive a video lecture to watch on their own time ahead of the next week's live q&a session. for example, the first video will be sent 9/24, to be watched before the live q&a on 10/1. instruCtor: Dr. David Prentice dAY/dAte: fridays, 10/1/21 - 11/12/21 (7) tiMe: 10:00 aM - 11:00 aM ForMAt: virtual LoCAtion: Zoom Cost: $35.00 olli Member $50.00 non-olli Member ACuPunCture: drY needLing & CuPPing desCriPtion: acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for centuries. it's based on the theory that ForMAt KeY | = in-Person only | = virtual only | = Choice of in-Person or virtual
