Women without Kids - NH

We will meet as a group at the Derry Public Library. All members are welcome. We will have some snacks and a bit of general social time, with a focused activity hour: to discuss the book, work on a craft (bring your own), assemble a puzzle etc.

The book selected to discuss for this date is: Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati (published 5/2/23).

Details on Meeting at the Derry Public Library:
📍Location: 64 E Broadway, Derry, NH 03038
🅿️Parking: Spots directly in front of the library are limited so please make use of the free "East Broadway" Public Parking Lot. The entrance is between the Masonic Temple and CVS on Broadway (1 min walk to the library). We will be in Meeting Room A, which is located on the lower level (off of the Children's Department).

Book Description:
As for queens, they are either hated or forgotten. She already knows which option suits her best…

You were born to a king, but you marry a tyrant. You stand by helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore, and you comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. Because this was not the first offence against you. This was not the life you ever deserved. And this will not be your undoing. Slowly, you plot. But when your husband returns in triumph, you become a woman with a choice.

Acceptance or vengeance, infamy follows both. So, you bide your time and force the gods' hands in the game of retribution. For you understood something long ago that the others never did. If power isn't given to you, you have to take it for yourself.

First Zorvino Music Bingo of the Season!
Zorvino Vineyard - Sandown NH is a lovely local winery with a charming outdoor patio and Bistro Menu. They have Music Bingo on Tuesday Evenings from 6-8pm. I've made a reservation at 5:30 so we can have time to order food and beverages before it gets going.

If you haven't played Music Bingo before - you get a Bingo Card with song titles on it and the DJ plays the song and you mark it off on your card (if you have it) if you get the desired Bingo shape that round you'll get a $10 gift card to Zorvino. It's a fun and delicous way to spend a Tuesday evening.

I have a reservation for 8. I'll see if I can expand if there is more interest. We will be seated under the pergola on the outdoor patio. They always do seperate checks for us upon request.

Class Description: Step Into Your Power Flow

A 90-minute solar plexus-centered practice designed to cultivate confidence, balance, and self trust through intentional movement and breathwork.

Together, we’ll explore the balance between feminine and masculine energy. The dance between softness and strength. Expect to leave feeling grounded, empowered, and deeply connected to yourself. Perfect for women seeking empowerment, clarity, and embodied energy.

Our Instructor: Andrea Escobar
Andrea discovered yoga In 2018 and immediately she fell in love with the practice as she found it to be a powerful way to process and deeply connect with herself. What began as a personal practice quickly became a grounding force in her life.

In 2021, Andrea completed her training in Hatha yoga, later continuing her studies to become a 500-hour registered yoga teacher with additional training in Vinyasa. Her teaching blends intentional movement, creativity, mindfulness, and strength, offering students an experience that feels both empowering and accessible.

Andrea’s classes are playful, dynamic, and thoughtfully paced, encouraging students to move with awareness while cultivating a deeper connection between mind and body. She approaches teaching as an opportunity to share a practice that has brought her immense personal growth, balance, and presence.

Outside the studio, Andrea enjoys painting, traveling, learning piano, exploring wellness, and immersing herself in the arts. She is passionate about helping others slow down, reconnect to the present moment, and find grounding through movement and breath.

Weather may cancel this event. I'll keep an eye on their insta.

Weekly, on Wednesdays, Tuscan Village + local Artist Maria Devito are hosting an open air art experience at the pavillion. "Get creative with painting a new theme every week and a few surprise projects including keychains, inspo cards, bookmarks and more! All supplies are provided. This event is free and firstcome first served - while supplies last".

Project is not really annouced much in advance but we went in June and made cute sea themed prints. It was popular and space was in limited supply, I'm setting the attendee limit at 6 but can certainly let more in if we agree to rotate at our table taking turns sitting/painting & standing/hanging.

I'll aim to arrive at 5:30 to grab a bite to eat and a table for us to sit at. The Sams Adam's Pavillion is located behind the Tuscan Market/next to L.L. Bean.

3 S Village Dr, Salem, NH 03079 (L.L. Bean's address - plenty of free parking throughout the complex).
