Clear introduces the concept of "atomic habits," small actions that, when compounded over time, result in major improvements. The book emphasizes the importance of focusing on systems and processes rather than just goals. Clear provides a framework based on four laws of behavior change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. By following these principles, individuals can create positive habits and break bad ones. He also discusses how environment, identity, and social influences shape behavior. Throughout the book, Clear uses real-life examples and scientific research to demonstrate how simple habits, practiced consistently, can yield powerful results. Overall, Atomic Habits is a practical manual for anyone looking to improve their daily routines and achieve long-term success.

Join us and discover the histories and mysteries of the **Land of the Dragon**: China, a pioneering ancient civilization turned second largest world's economy. In this epic journey through the vast nation’s two most iconic cities, we’ll visit some of the world’s most famous landmarks, learn about the rich heritage and innovations of Chinese culture, and immerse ourselves in the energy and excitement of thriving urban centers. With origins dating back to more than **3,000 years ago**, for much of its long history China led the world in literature, arts, sciences, technology and philosophy. Just some of the innovations which emerged from the country include the **inventions** of paper, rockets, gunpowder, the wheelbarrow and cast iron – as well as the first immunization, against smallpox. Today, we’ll find a country where the cities never sleep and commerce is king – the perfect place to **shop til we drop**. We’ll start in exciting and cosmopolitan **Shanghai**, one of China's greatest economic and cultural centers, famous for both historical landmarks as well as modern, ever-expanding skylines. Known as **“the Oriental Paris”**, a long period of control by colonial powers resulted in an intriguing mix of architectural styles, with many districts featuring European-style cafes and gardens. We’ll make our way through China’s biggest urban center, discovering temples, towers and markets galore, and iconic destinations such as the riverside Bund. Though Shanghai represents the modern China, we’ll take a break from the city to explore an ancient water town and get our first glimpse of the old way of life. Next up is **Beijing**, where we will travel back in time and discover the true depth of China’s remarkable history. One of the Four **Great Ancient Capitals of China**, the city served as the seat of power for about 850 years, and offers China's most incredible array of attractions. At its heart is the **Forbidden City**, home to the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the largest palace complex in the nation and the world. Neighbouring **Tiananmen Square** is known the world over for its suppressed student protests, which we’ll learn about before discovering a fascinating history of worship and sacrifices at the immense **Temple of Heaven** complex. A truly unmissable, bucket list sight is China’s iconic **Great Wall**. The largest man-made project in the world, its route stretches more than **20,000 km** from the eastern seaside to the western desert in the north of the country, winding its way up and down across mountains and plateaus. There’s an old Chinese saying that "you are not a hero until conquering the Great Wall". Challenge accepted…**let’s go!** **DAY 1 // 28 Dec // Arrival in Shanghai** Meeting at airport, immigration and transfer to hotel. Free time on your own, to rest or explore. **DAY 2 // 29 Dec // Shanghai** Our adventure begins! Sprawling Shanghai is just waiting to be discovered, and we’ll start the day with a visit to the **Jade Buddha Temple**, a Buddhist shrine located right in the middle of the city’s hustle and bustle. It is named for its two bejeweled Buddha statues, each impressively carved from a whole piece of white jade. Our next stop takes us to a **silk factory**, where we’ll learn more about the history and production of this delicate fabric. Made from the filaments of silkworm cocoons, it has been manufactured in China going back millennia. To this day, silk holds a special place in Chinese culture, representing beauty, elegance, and social status. Feeling in need of some retail therapy? We’ll head to **Nanjing Road**, running east to west through the heart of city and one of the busiest commercial streets in the world. Nanjing Road is to Shanghai what Fifth Avenue and the Champs-Elysées are to New York and Paris – shopping heaven! In addition to major global brands, we can find local handicrafts and traditional food here. Later, we’ll meet an icon: **the Bund**, the renowned waterfront area and protected historic district that is Shanghai’s most famous landmark. The word ‘bund’ is of Anglo-Indian origin, meaning embankment on the waterfront, and is a legacy of British colonial rule. This symbol of the city is also the most stunning place to experience **Shanghai at night**. As the sun sets, the city's skyline lights up with vibrant colors that reflect and shimmer on the surface of the Huangpu River. From here, we’ll have a fabulous view of the famed **Oriental Pearl TV Tower**, rising 468 meters above the crowded streets. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a river cruise and stroll along the banks of the river. **DAY 3 // 30 Dec // Zhujiajiao & Shanghai** Today we’ll take a break from the city and visit **Zhujiajiao**, an ancient “water town” known as the Venice of Shanghai due to the network of canals winding its way through the village. With a history going back more than 1,700 years, it is the best-preserved of the four ancient towns in Shanghai. Set amid a landscape of lakes and mountains, charming Zhujiajiao is best known for its **historic bridges**, built during Ming and Qing Dynasties, and made of wood, marble and stone. Spanning waterways large and small, the bridges allow residents and visitors to traverse the town – and happen to make for great pictures! We’ll feel like we’ve gone back in time as we take a tranquil boat ride though the watery “streets”, passing through the shade of weeping willows and connecting with small-town life. After a fascinating day, we’ll drive back to Shanghai and head to **People’s Square**, a large space in central Shanghai that was once the horse racing track of the Shanghai Race Club. Surrounded by many of Shanghai's most recognizable skyscrapers, People's Square is an important meeting place and public space, and home to major institutions such as the Shanghai Grand Theatre, the Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai People's Government. In the evening we’ll explore popular **Xintiandi**, an upmarket entertainment and shopping complex modelled on traditional lòngtáng (alleyway) homes. If we’re in the mood for more shopping later, we can make a visit to **AP Plaza**, one of the city's biggest counterfeit markets, and practice our haggling skills. **DAY 4 // 31 Dec // Shanghai & NYE** In the morning we’ll head to the Lujiazui Financial District to see the **Jinmao Tower**, a symbol of modern China and one of the most recognizable buildings in Shanghai. Its unique stainless steel and glass design is thoroughly modern yet inspired by traditional Chinese architecture, with an octagonal shape and tapered form that resembles a pagoda. We’ll then make a visit to the **Shanghai Museum**, learning more about Chinese art and cultural expression by exploring its rich collection spanning bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, furniture, embroidery and much more. In the afternoon we’ll get creative in the artsy area of **Tianzifang,** a place where old and modern Shanghai meet. We’ll wander the streets lined with restored 1930s Shikumen residences, now housing an array of design and art studios, antique shops, art galleries and craft stores, alongside trendy cafes and eateries. Next, we’ll treat ourselves to a walk through the historic **Yu Garden**, first built in 1559 during the Ming dynasty. Having gone through a number of redesigns and restorations over the years, this garden remains a **serene haven**. Known as the \*‘\*Garden of Happiness’ or ‘Garden of Peace and Comfort’, we’ll find dozens of scenic spots, all connected by corridors and passageways – including pavilions, rock formations, ponds and its centrepiece, the five-ton Exquisite Jade Rock. It is in these enchanting surrounds that we will mark the **New Year** with a unique cultural highlight: the Yu Garden **Lantern Festival**. Vibrant lantern displays promise a magical atmosphere and a celebration to remember as we say hello to New Year. **DAY 5 // 1 Jan // Shanghai to Beijing on bullet train** After breakfast, we’ll transfer to the train station for our bullet train to Beijing. Check-in to hotel and free time: to rest or explore. **DAY 6 // 2 Jan // Beijing** We’ll begin our exploration of Beijing with a visit to the biggest public square in the world. The impressive **Tiananmen Square** conquers you with its grandeur at first sight, covering a vast 53 acres. We’ll learn more about China’s tumultuous political history as we tour the site of one of the country’s most tragic events of the modern era. We’ll then head to the nearby **Forbidden City**, the famed palace complex that was the center of political power in China for over 500 years – and today is the largest preserved royal palace complex still standing in the world. Constructed in the early 15th century, this **opulent imperial residence** was home to 24 Ming and Qing dynasty Emperors, and is an outstanding example of traditional Chinese palatial architecture. Now a museum, we’ll wander some of the complex’s nearly 9,000 rooms, which feature an extensive collection of artworks and artifacts. Later we’ll visit a religious site that was very special to those Ming and Qing Emperors: the **Temple of Heaven**. The size of this temple complex is staggering, with its network of buildings and gardens covering approximately 675 acres. Completed together with the Forbidden City in 1420, the complex’s layout symbolizes the relationship between earth and heaven – the human world and God's world. For centuries, the intricately and colorfully decorated structures saw worshippers petitioning the spirits and animals **slaughtered and burned as sacrifices** to Shangdi, the Supreme Deity. In the afternoon we’ll learn about another icon of China – **the pearl**, a precious commodity which is embedded in the tales and lore of the country. In ancient China, pearls were believed to offer protection from fire and fire-breathing dragons, and many believed that they fell from the sky when dragons fought amongst the clouds. Today, China is the leading producer of freshwater pearls, and we’ll **visit a factory** to see for ourselves how these iridescent gems are cultured and harvested. We’ll end our day with a bit of shopping at **Hongqiao market**, Beijing’s largest and most popular market for pearl jewelry, where we’ll try and find a bargain. **DAY 7 // 3 Jan // Beijing** After yesterday’s pearly escapades, today it’s time to earn about **jade**, another material which is hugely important to Chinese culture. Prized for its durability and beauty, over the centuries jade became associated with conceptions of the soul and immortality, and along with gold, was considered a symbol of heaven. We’ll head out of the city and visit a **jade factory** to see how this hardstone is delicately carved and fashioned into an endless array of jewelry and decorative items. At our next stop, we will meet China’s greatest cultural icon: the **Great Wall**. This awe-inspiring symbol of the country and the ingenuity of its people is known as one of the seven wonders of the world, not only for its long history but for its massive size and unique architectural style. First built between 770 – 476 BC, this feat of engineering was realized over a period of 2,000 years. We’ll be visiting at the **Juyong Pass**, the first of three impregnable passes along the Great Wall. Situated in a mountain-flanked valley, this military stronghold protected the northern borders from Mongol invasions. As we climb this architectural marvel and look out on sweeping vistas, we can imagine the lives of soldiers of the past and wonder what it must have been like to see the enemy descending. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the final landmark of our trip: the **Summer Palace**, created during the Qing dynasty as a vast imperial retreat featuring numerous lakes, gardens and palaces. Covering an expanse of 2.9 sq km (1.1 sq mi), three-quarters of which is water, it contains over **3,000 ancient buildings** that house a collection of over 40,000 relics from various dynasties. Considered by UNESCO as "a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design”, this World Heritage Site invites exploration and will leave us in awe of the artistry and craftsmanship of days gone by. Later, a final chance for some shopping at the famed **Silk Street market** before we say bye-bye to Beijing with a last night out on the town. **DAY 8 // 4 Jan // Departure** After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll be transferred to the airport for our flight home. **Activities:** Walking, sightseeing. **Grade:** Easy, available for everyone. **Accommodation and meals:** 4 star hotels – double sharing. Meals excluded. **Cost: 5,850 AED** **excl. flights or 8540 AED incl. flights until** **DEC 25th**.

I thought meditation meant sitting in silence/chanting/focusing on the breath! A- We are all struggling with our deep-rooted suppressed emotions/unresolved issues/pain/hurt. When we sit in SILENCE, these thoughts pop up; it becomes difficult to sit & go inwardly. In OSHO Active meditations, you VIBRATE...DANCE and suppressed energy move & spread in the body. The flow of energy turned “UPWARD.” Your rock-like being melts down, and and you become THE CHILD AGAIN. Now the SILENCE comes to you naturally. Join our WhatsApp Group to stay connected with us.

**500 km west of Senegal lies Cape Verde**, the island chain of vertigo-inducing mountains, green valleys of flowers and sugar cane, crystal blue waters and white sandy beaches. Here, the music and rhythms of Creole West Africa are heard across quaint seaside villages, towering peaks and sparkling bays. This island paradise was uninhabited until the 1500s, when it was discovered by Portuguese explorers who took advantage of its strategic location for cross-Atlantic trade. Cape Verde has remained something of a well-kept secret since; though centuries have passed, the **majority Creole population (European and West African descent)** has rarely exceeded 500,000 people. The geologic origins of the island chain are **a volcanic hot spot deep in the Atlantic**, which over millennia created an otherworldly archipelago of steep craggy mountains and lush green landscapes. A stunning highlight is the **dizzying vertical island of Santo Antão**, **ruptured with canyons, deep gorges and valleys** home to sugar cane plantations and tropical flora and fauna. **This time, we invite you to join us on an extended journey**. After NYE celebrations in Cape Verde, we will continue to the mainland of Mama Africa **to explore yet another hidden corner: Guinea-Bissau.** This tiny West African country lies sandwiched between its larger neighbors Senegal and Guinea, on the wild Atlantic coast. This little-known treasure has it all – like **a microcosm of Africa**, it boasts tropical landscapes, white-sand beaches, an ethnically diverse population and abundant wildlife. Visitors will discover a nation where ancient traditions are kept alive, and the locals love a party. Once part of the kingdom of Kaabu in the 16th and 17th centuries, **Portuguese colonial rule** took hold and spread its way across the country, until the land was formally colonised as Portuguese Guinea in the 19th century. After independence was declared in 1973, Guinea Bissau was hailed as a potential model for African development. Today, however, the country is struggling. Its vital cashew nut crop provides a modest living for most farmers – in fact, the nation is **one of the world’s top five cashew producers**. But decades of political unrest have led to of Guinea Bissau being ranked **one of the poorest countries in the world**. The **capital city of Bissau** reflects the many years of Portuguese colonial rule, with a **vibrant and colorful Old Town** full of crumbling European-style architecture. After taking in landmarks such as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Candelária and the Presidential Palace, a visit to the chaotic Bandim Market is the perfect way to get a feel for day-to-day local life. The country’s crown jewel is the forested, sparsely populated **Bijagós Archipelago, a collection of 88 islands** located about 50 km off the mainland coast. Powdery beaches and turquoise waters beckon in **“the Polynesia of West Africa”**, and this protected biosphere reserve features thriving communities of saltwater hippos, monkeys, chimps, buffaloes, crocodiles, and sea turtles, as well as hundreds of species of birds. These islands are known for their **unique blend of African and Portuguese cultures**, and are home to **the Bijagos people**, an ethnic group with distinct customs and language. Colorful traditional festivals and rituals include the Bafata Dance, a celebration of fertility and the harvest. **Let’s go!** **Day 1 // Connecting flight from Dakar to Praia** Meeting at Dakar airport at 17:30 for connecting flight to Praia 19:30-20:30. Immigration clearance, overnight. **Day 2 // Santiago - Cidade Velha & Praia City** After breakfast transfer to Cidade Velha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the first European colonial outpost in the tropics. Walk through the historic Rua Banana, visit the Royal Fortress of São Filipe, and learn about the town’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. Famous visitors include Vasco da Gama, Columbus and Magellan, as well as numerous pirates who continually plundered the place. We will enjoy a walk around the small town, visit the museum at the fort and take a seafood lunch in a small bar on the beach. Dinner at a restaurant at Prainha Beach in the evening. Possibility for a night walk to the Farol de Maria Lia lighthouse. **DAY 3 // Sao Vicente - Mindelo** After breakfast, transfer to the airport for a flight to São Vicente Island. Upon arrival, we’ll head directly to Mindelo, the island’s cultural heart. Check in the hotel in the charming colonial-style city, then set out to explore its colorful streets, bustling markets, art galleries, and music bars. Walk along the waterfront, visit the replica of Lisbon’s Belém Tower, and relax on Laginha Beach. Enjoy the rhythms of Cape Verdean music and savor delicious local dishes in the evening. **DAY 4 // Santo Antão - Porto Novo to Paul** Today begins with a scenic ferry ride to the lush and mountainous island of Santo Antão. After arriving in Porto Novo, we will drive along the dramatic Corda Road, one of the most beautiful roads in the country, offering panoramic views of deep valleys and towering peaks. We’ll make several photo stops, including a visit to the breathtaking Cova Crater, a dormant volcano now filled with farmland. The journey continues to the verdant Paul Valley, considered the greenest and most fertile valley in Cabo Verde. Settle into our hotel and enjoy the peaceful rural ambiance. **DAY 5 // Santo Antão - Paul Valley** Wake up to the fresh mountain air and set out for a hike in the Paul Valley, a nature paradise. As we walk along cobbled paths and terraced fields, pass through traditional villages where locals still live in harmony with nature. We will get introduce to the flora and fauna of the region, and we'll see how locals cultivate sugarcane, coffee, and tropical fruits. Enjoy spectacular views of towering peaks, waterfalls, and lush greenery. We’ll also have the chance to visit a local distillery and taste the famous grogue, a traditional sugarcane liquor. **DAY 6 // Santo Antão - São Vicente - Santiago** After breakfast, we say goodbye to Santo Antão and transfer back to Porto Novo for the ferry ride to São Vicente. Upon arrival in Mindelo, enjoy some final free time for shopping or relaxing before heading to the airport for your flight back to Santiago Island. Take in the last aerial views of the islands as you transition from the mountainous beauty of Santo Antão back to the vibrant rhythm of Santiago. **DAY 7 // Guinea Bissau** Airport transfer for a flight to Guinea Bissau 01:45-04:20 (or return flight to Dakar 15:20-18:20), After breakfast, we set sail for Bolama Island, once the proud colonial capital of Portuguese Guinea. From 1879 until 1941, Bolama served as the administrative heart of the colony, before the capital was relocated to Bissau. Later, in 1951, the territory was officially reclassified as an “overseas province” of Portugal, remaining under colonial rule until Guinea-Bissau’s hard-fought independence in 1974. Today, Bolama is a place where history lingers in silence. The town, once bustling with officials and traders, is now a quiet shadow of its former self. Its faded colonial architecture, old government buildings, wide avenues lined with mango trees, and decaying neoclassical façades that tell stories of grandeur that never quite matched the harsh realities of island life. The scarcity of fresh water made the administration’s ambitions fragile, and with time, nature reclaimed the streets and plazas. Strolling through Bolama feels like stepping into a forgotten museum beneath the open sky, where walls crumble gracefully under the tropical sun. We will enjoy lunch in one of Bolama’s local restaurants, savoring freshly caught fish and seafood. In the afternoon, we sail onward to Rubane Island, part of the Bijagós Archipelago, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the sea and wind. Upon arrival, we check into the lodge, a serene retreat surrounded by palm trees and the gentle sound of waves. Buffet dinner and an overnight stay in this tropical paradise. **Day 8 // Sacred Hippos of Orango National Park** In the morning we set off for an excursion to Orango Island, one of the natural treasures of the Bijagós. The highlight of our visit is the chance to explore the saltwater lagoons, where we may encounter the rare West African saltwater hippos. Revered as sacred animals by the local Bijagós communities, these hippos connect the deep spiritual bond between people and nature. Beyond the hippos, Orango is alive with biodiversity: monkeys darting between trees, gentle manatees gliding through the waters, and a vibrant bird population filling the skies with color and song. It is not only a sanctuary for wildlife but also a cultural landscape. The Bijagós people live in a unique matriarchal society, where women often lead villages and play central roles in community decision-making. Learning about their customs offers insight into one of West Africa’s most distinctive cultures. Lunch will be served as part of the excursion, often prepared by local hosts or enjoyed as a picnic amidst nature. By afternoon, we return to Ponta Anchaca, where the rest of the evening is free to relax by the ocean and reflect on the day’s encounters. **Day 9 // Relax in Bijagós and Return to Bissau** Our final morning in the Bijagós is dedicated to relaxation. You can choose to lounge on the golden sands, enjoy optional activities such as kayaking or snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, or take a walk to visit a nearby village. Later, we sail back toward the mainland, returning to Bissau, the capital city. Upon arrival, we’ll hit the streets to historic old quarter, where narrow streets are framed by colonial-era buildings, worn yet full of character. Bissau is a city where Africa and Portugal’s legacies intertwine and tropical vibrancy meets faded European façades. Presidential Palace, the grand yet timeworn Cathedral of Bissau, and the Fort of São José da Amura, are stronghold whose origins date back to the early Portuguese colonial era. We also visit Che Guevara Square and the Monument to Independence, a structure built in the 20th century by the Portuguese. Remarkably, after independence it remained the only Portuguese monument left standing. Renamed the “Monument of the Heroes of Independence,” it was crowned with a star, symbolizing a new national identity. Today, the square is a popular gathering place for locals, a vibrant meeting ground that connects past and present. Overnight in Bissau. **Day 10 // Dakar and departure** Transfer to airport for our early flight to Dakar, Senegal. Optionally you can take a short glimpse into the lively metropolis of Dakar, a city known for its bustling markets and vibrant music scene. Bye bye Africa! **Level:** Easy available for everyone. **Accommodation and meals:** double sharing: Cape Verde - 4\*hotels, Bissau – beach side lodge and 3\* hotel.

**Imagine a place where the sun rises over mist-wrapped mountains, the ocean glows electric turquoise**, and the only thing crowding the beach is a curious sea turtle. Welcome to Timor-Leste, the secret half-island paradise that time and mass tourism forgot. Located 600 km north of Australia, this is **Southeast Asia’s wildest, youngest country**. The world’s newest democracy, born in 2002 after centuries of Portuguese spice traders, revolutionary spirit, and a hard-won fight for freedom. The scars of the past are still healing, but that only makes the beauty feel more raw, more real, more alive. Here, Catholicism dances with ancient animist beliefs, Portuguese fades into melodic Tetum, and every smile feels like it’s been waiting just for you. Roads wind through coffee plantations and jungle-shrouded hills, then suddenly drop to idyllic white sand beaches where dolphins play just offshore. Only 30 km across glittering straits lies **Atauro Island, a laidback jewel** with 9,000 souls, zero traffic lights, and some of the healthiest coral reefs on earth. Snorkel straight off the beach, hike volcanic ridges at sunrise, then kick back with a cold one while fishermen grill the day’s catch under the palms. And that’s just the warm-up. On this Trekkup New Year adventure, we’ll **chase sunrise from the summit of Mount Ramelau (the highest peak in Timor), wander forgotten coastal villages, swim in hidden lagoons**, and toast 2026 in places most travelers will never see. No crowds. No resorts. Just pure, uncut tropical freedom and the friendliest welcome in Asia. Ready? **Leste GO!** **Day 1 :: Dili** Arrive in Dili, complete immigration formalities, and check in at the hotel followed by a welcome lunch. In the afternoon we visit the vibrant Tais Market, then head to the impressive Cristo Rei statue (third tallest in the world) and the nearby 6-metre statue of Pope John Paul II. For a taste of local culture we can stop at a traditional cockfight. We end the day with sundowners and relaxed beach time at Areia Branca before dinner. **DAY 2: HATUBUILICO – MAUBISSE** After breakfast and hotel check-out, we depart for the highlands with panoramic views over Dili, the bay, and Atauro Island on the horizon. We pause at the serene WWII Memorial, then continue to the historic town of Aileu for lunch at a scenic vanilla farm. The drive continues through rolling green hills and coffee plantations until we reach charming Maubisse. In the evening a traditional welcome ceremony awaits, complete with warm local hospitality. **DAY 3: MT. RAMELAU** Early wake-up, and depart to the trailhead of Mount Ramelau (2,963 m), Timor-Leste’s highest peak. The steady 2 hr ascent brings us to the summit in time for a spectacular sunrise. Cheer up the sunrise with few selfies, descent and reaching the base by mid morning. Return to the guesthouse for breakfast and a quick refresh, then drive back toward Dili with a refreshing stop at Dokomali Falls – a hidden gem where clear mountain water cascades into a natural pool surrounded by lush jungle, perfect for a cool swim, and a light picnic before continuing to the capital. Overnight in Dili. **DAY 4: ATAURO** Morning transfer to the port and a scenic ride to Atauro Island. After settling in, we spend the day snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs and exploring the laid-back main village. Fresh seafood lunch, relaxed beach time, and the gentle rhythm of island life take over. **DAY 5: ATAURO** Breakfast at leisure, followed by a boat trip along the untouched western coast to snorkel at Atekry, Adara, and Iliana are some of the healthiest reefs in the region. Swim with tropical fish and possibly sea turtles, enjoy lunch on a quiet beach, and soak in the serene surroundings. Return in the late afternoon to prepare for the evening. New Year’s Eve celebration Atauro-style: beachside bonfire, fresh grilled seafood, local music, and welcoming 2026 under an endless starry sky. **DAY 6: DILI** Morning boat back to the capital. Ease into the day with authentic Timorese coffee, warm sweet breads, and sasoru grilled corn. Free time for final souvenir shopping at the markets or one last swim.

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v.

The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
