About the instructor:

Sophie Montesanti knows all about the unrelenting pressure facing young people. An all-state distance swimmer for Howell High School in 2016, she found herself experiencing debilitating panic attacks accompanied by unexplained physical symptoms. At her doctor's suggestion, Sophie started practicing yoga to help ease her anxiety and eventually earned her 200-hour teaching certificate at age 16. She is a Michigan State University College of Human Medicine student and teaches and regularly practices yoga in East Lansing.
 

Join us for a fun discussion about This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune. Need the book? Check out a physical copy, or check out the eAudiobook or eBook through Libby!

Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again.

It’s easier said than done.

Produced by the Braver Angels organization and directed by four-time Emmy award winner Jim Brown and produced by musician Peter Yarrow, the 50-minute documentary, "Reuniting America" follows Republican-leaning and Democratic-leaning voters as they move through a depolarization workshop in Waynesville, Ohio.
