The winter months can be an inward, focused time. For some, this is a welcome retreat. But for others, winter can be lonely. A great strategy to beat the winter blues is to sign up for a class at Mt. Airy Learning Tree.

This winter, MALT has over 200 courses running — each of which offers an opportunity to connect with other community members through a common interest or shared experience. Gather with others and make beeswax candles to light up the winter nights, learn to knit, make your own pasta, or take a dance class. Learning something new in a community setting can help you go deeper into yourself as you listen to and feed your own interests while connecting with others.

The current MALT catalog is available on their website: mtairylearningtree.org.
