Experience a free introductory Systema class that presents a holistic approach to training for body and mind. The practice weaves together martial arts principles with breathwork, mindful movement, partner-based release techniques, and meditative elements to build practical self-protection skills. Students develop natural, effective responses while becoming stronger, more flexible, and less weighed down by fear and stress. Training centers on moving with alignment and relaxation rather than excess tension. Through a steady, thoughtful progression, participants build awareness, adaptability, and composure under pressure. The aim goes beyond techniques to the capacity to stay centered and responsive when situations are uncertain. Sessions vary and are never identical, and everyone works at a pace that suits their experience. A typical class begins with breathing, mobility, and conditioning drawn from Russian martial arts to ease mental and physical tension and develop a resilient, adaptable body. Work then moves into rolling and falling, groundwork, and theme-focused movement exercises. NC Systema is an official school of Systema Vasiliev, with instructors who renew certification each year through the headquarters in Toronto.

This small, reflective gathering centers on spirit communication as messages emerge during a group mediumship session, then continues with tea, conversation, and light snacks. The medium describes acting as a bridge between those who are living, those who have passed, and those in a middle state. No specific individuals are called upon, as information comes from those who most need to be heard. Messages are guided by need rather than want. In a group setting, not everyone will receive a personal message, and some messages may resonate with more than one attendee. To keep the process clear, participants are asked not to share hoped-for outcomes, names, dates, relationships, or other details in advance, allowing the spirits to speak for themselves. A casual reception to meet and chat follows, with tea and snacks provided by the host. Tickets are $49 per person. Frank Chodl, a psychic medium with international recognition, leads the evening. His books, classes, and seminars draw on decades of paranormal work, research, and teaching. He noticed his abilities at the age of eight and was identified as a deep trance medium by the late Lorraine Warren in 1975. Over the years he has offered numerous accurate, impactful readings that have been observed by psychologists, parapsychologists, and paranormal investigators, serving individuals and groups in private homes, historic inns and hotels, battlefields, and cemeteries. His investigations have taken him to sites around the world, including the Forbidden City in Beijing, Anasazi ruins in Colorado, the ancient site of Pompei in Italy, standing stones and stone circles in the British Isles, slave cells in Ghana, Mayan ruins in the Yucatan, and islands in the Bermuda Triangle.
