Enriching Lives
Here at Bayside, we value our abilities in offering unparalleled opportunities for family fun and togetherness. Time with loved ones at Bayside is precious, whether it’s kayaking with the kids, playing golf or tennis with friends, or swaying with neighbors to the sounds of a great outdoor concert. But, let’s be honest. Once in a while you need to take a little time for yourself…
Imagine grabbing a cup of coffee and slipping out the door to greet the morning sun. Hop on your bike and ride to the Point to discover a new hobby or ignite an undiscovered passion. Start your day by sharing your personal story in creative writing, enhancing your wellness with a healthy cooking class, or learning to arrange flowers beautifully. Spend a quiet afternoon learning unique local history or wind down another beautiful day in Fenwick Island with a wine tasting by the bay.
As an innovative year-round program, Bayside Institute enriches lives by giving our members the gift of meaningful “me” time. Learn new skills, explore new subjects, embrace hobbies, and share wisdom – in any number of fascinating interest areas. This is about you. “Me” time is priceless.
New this year is the Bayside Institute Wine Club, which features classes independently designed to increase your worldly knowledge and taste of wines. This month, Irena Jones, Level 1 Sommelier, will teach you all about rose wine! Guests will be sampling roses from all over the world, including a world famous LVE Cotes De Provence Rose from John Legend’s winery.
Please register one guest at a time.

Wind down your day with Sangha: a meditation incorporated with gentle movement. The word sangha is a Pali word most commonly translated as community or association. Traditionally (in the Pali Canon), the word sangha refers to the association of monks and nuns. In modern traditions, the word sangha includes laypeople. Above all, our sangha can be seen simply as a community of individuals who are on a path…And aren’t we all?
Too often we feel isolated from others. The sangha offers support and by participating we may offer support, kindness and connection to those around us. It may enable us to grow in ways that contribute to a healthy way of living.
The idea here is for us to gather for the purpose of creating a healthy practice, to include:
–Relaxation techniques
–Gentle stretching and beginning hatha yoga
–Mindfulness practice
–Establishing supportive connections with members of our community
During out gathering, comfort is important. Each person is asked to bring a yoga mat and strap. Note: all activities may be done while seated in a chair (which will be provided).
Each 60-90 minute session will vary; the schedule may include:
Arriving, introductions, and getting comfortable whether on a mat or in a chair. (10-15 minutes)
Gentle stretching (15-20 minutes)
Sitting meditation (10 minutes)
Offering of a teaching (10 minutes)
Comments and sharing (10-15 minutes)

Make your own mosaic work of art! The instructor will help you create your detailed hotplates easily with designs she provides as templates that you transfer with graphite paper.
What you get:
1) Two hour hands on instruction to create a design you choose from below
2) All materials are included and you will receive your own pre-cut mosaic tile kit during the class to create your work of art.
3) To finish the project with grout, you will be given a take home grout kit to finish on your own with detailed instructions, including hanging wire for the back. If you wish to have yours grouted by the instructor, it is an additional fee.
This class is for beginners and requires attention to detail, carefulness with sharp glass/tile edges and the ability to glue.
Please note cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will not be accepted due to instructor pre-cutting each mosaic tile kit. Members will be charged 48 hours in advance.
Here what fellow Bayside students had to say about the mosaic tile class:
“Janet’s passion for creating a one of a kind art piece is wildly contagious. Her natural understanding for color, light, texture, and creativity makes Janet the ideal mentor. I quickly learned core ancient and modern mosaic techniques thanks to Janet’s extensive wealth of art experience. Also, Janet is tons of fun when working on a project.” -Eileen Giardina
“I recently had the pleasure of instruction in Mosaics with Janet. She is very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. I would not hesitate to attend another session with her in the future.” Diane Armstrong
