Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.

Essentrics is influenced by the flowing, strengthening and healing movements of tai chi, dance and physiotherapy. It improves posture, increases energy, and reduces pain by improving the range of motion through dynamic movement. This class is geared towards all ages and is a great program for athletes looking for more flexibility, people just beginning their fitness journeys, and for those recovering from injuries.

Come to one class or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class, or $50 for the full six week series. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Guilford Center Stage opens its 2025 season with the 1988 two-character play," Love Letters", by A. R. Gurney.  The play was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. This Friday night performance also includes a special dinner option provided by the Broad Brook Community Center Board. The performance on Friday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, will be preceded by a 5:30 pm romantic dinner in the downstairs dining room of the Community Center, followed by the play in the theater upstairs and dessert afterwards. Registration and menu options for the dinner below.

This epistolary play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, lifelong friends and ... lovers?  The characters take turns, during the play, reading the cards, notes and letters they wrote to each over the past half-century.  

The Guilford performances take place, appropriately, on Valentine's weekend. An interesting, and romantic, feature of this production is that each of the three performances will be given by a different pair of actors, each of which is a real-life couple: Friday, February 14, "Love Letters" will be performed by Evelyn and Don McLean, of Guilford, frequent participants in the work of this theater group.  The Saturday, February 15th show will be performed by Gay and James Maxwell, of Brattleboro, well-known area actors.  The Sunday matinee on the 16th will feature actress Christopher Coutant and her husband, Michael Kennedy, both of whom have appeared in and directed many stage productions in the region.

"LOVE LETTERS" is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection (www.dramatyists.com).  "LOVE LETTERS" was presented at The Long Wharf Theatre, November 4, 1988 - December 11, 1998, M. Edgar Rosenbaum, Executive Director, Arvin Brown, Artistic Director.

Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

In addition, candidates for town offices are urged to attend to introduce themselves to the voters. This is the only time before the vote for the public to meet and hear the candidates together. One of the terms for Guilford representative to the WSESD School Board is up for election this year; voters will also cast ballots for reps from the other district towns, and candidates are invited to attend Pre-Town Meeting to introduce themselves and answer questions.

Those interested in declaring as a write-in candidate should take this sole opportunity to appear before a group of voters. Guilford’s reps to the WSESD Board will also be on hand to talk about school board business.

Refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!

On this date the Grange is using the building to prepare for Sugar on Snow Supper.

Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating six-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.

Essentrics is influenced by the flowing, strengthening and healing movements of tai chi, dance and physiotherapy. It improves posture, increases energy, and reduces pain by improving the range of motion through dynamic movement. This class is geared towards all ages and is a great program for athletes looking for more flexibility, people just beginning their fitness journeys, and for those recovering from injuries.

Come to one class or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class, or $50 for the full six week series. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Questions? Reach out to Kelly

Join us for an afternoon of storytelling. Share a story, or just come to listen! Coffee and sweets will be served during and after the performances. This event is free and open to all.

Join us for a Kripalu All-Level Community Yoga Class organized by the amazing folks at the Guilford Recreation Commission.

This class is accessible to people of all abilities and experience. Kripalu-style yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that is a nonsectarian and nondogmatic vinyasa (flow) style class. Each class includes a centering pranayama (breathing exercise), warm-ups, asana (posture) sequences, and a final guided shavasana (relaxation). Modification prompts will be provided for those who would like to challenge themselves or those who would like accessibility options for their body.

Discover the mind-body connection, encourage stress reduction, and improve self-regulation and physical health. Guided by Lindsay Parise, a yoga practitioner of over two decades, who is excited to offer this community-based class.

This 60-minute class meets at the Broad Brook Community Center every Monday at 5 pm.

COST: by donation, suggested $10 ($5 for seniors and those receiving EBT benefits)

PARTICIPANTS: adults and children 10 and older are welcome, children need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the class.

Participants should bring their own mat and any props they might need, though a few will be available to borrow. Chairs will be available if this modification is needed.

This class introduces the Tai Chi for Fall Prevention sequence starting from the very beginning. Regularly practicing the slow, rhythmic movements of Tai Chi smooths out stiff joints, improves balance, and promotes a sense of well-being. The class specifically improves balance and confidence in movement in a safe, easy-to-master program that one can do even seated, if necessary. This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)

This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)
