Tom Thumb XVII

Hey hey hey hey hey. This Saturday, we have the megahonor of hosting Tom Thumb XVII!!!! We’re super excited about this because 1) Tom Thumb is always fun and 2) Tom Thumb is a really cool Truman/Kirksville tradition that has been in operation since 1998. Not only that, but this is the fourth time Tom Thumb has been held at the Aquadome! But, this is the first installment to take place in the current incarnation of the Aquadome. (Two were held in the old Aquadome, one in between Aquadomes.)

For more info on Tom Thumb, check out:
The Tom Thumb blog / Tom Thumb Facebook / Tom Thumb Wikipedia article

Note: Okay okay, I know Aquadomers are pretty much in charge of planning Tom Thumb this time around, but this excitement is still 95% genuine.

Debunking Stress + Acupuncture Happy Hour

Reposted from Facebook (click here to see the event):

This workshop on acupuncture and stress goes from 2pm- 330pm [on Sunday, March 11]! Register for the workshop by emailing theaquadome@gmail.com. The first 20 people to register will get to participate in the Acupuncture Happy Hour afterwards.

DEBUNKING STRESS

Feel Stressed? Most of us re-play the same messages in our heads about how stressful life is, with no apparent end to the stress in sight. Come to this workshop if you want to:

  • Learn more about what you can do to alter your perceptions of your current situation.
  • Explore how feelings can be a roadmap to understanding your needs.
  • Create strategies for meeting your needs, rather than reeling in upset that they aren’t being met.
  • Create practices to help keep you in the present moment.

Bring paper and a pen to the workshop. Discussion will be encouraged, but not required.

ACUPUNCTURE HAPPY HOUR

Are you ready to try something different?
A holistic alternative to the traditional happy hour without the smoke, noise or hangover.

After the workshop, stay for a simple acupuncture treatment and learn how acupuncture can help promote relaxation and stillness. The treatment will take place in a group setting as participants sit comfortably in chairs.
