Nixsa Mills, a licensed school administrator, will give a free lecture, “Energy Healing and Energy Medicine: The How and Why it Works,” Thursday morning, March 19, from 9 to 11 at the South County Center of Berkshire Community College.

The lecture explores the mechanics, current science theories, and evidence that support healing traditions of many ancient cultures: Luminous Healing and Energy Medicine, Macrobiotic Healing, Reiki, Chi and Prana Healing. Mills will discuss some of the current science theories that support energetic healing and examine two healing modalities and how they work. Attendees will participate in hands-on activities to search for evidence of electromagnetic fields and see a demonstration of a selected healing modality currently in use.

She holds multiple science and administrative certifications at several levels in the state of Massachusetts. She is a graduate of The Four Winds Society’s Healing the Light Body School, with certification to practice Luminous Healing and Energy Medicine.

Pittsfield Affordable Housing Initiatives Shine Light, Hope

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Housing Secretary Edward Augustus cuts the ribbon at The First on Thursday with housing officials and Mayor Peter Marchetti, state Sen. Paul Mark and state Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The holidays are here and several community members are celebrating it with the opening of two affordable housing initiatives. 
 
"This is a day to celebrate," Hearthway CEO Eileen Peltier said during the ribbon-cutting on Thursday. 
 
The celebration was for nearly 40 supportive permanent housing units; nine at "The First" located within the Zion Lutheran Church, and 28 on West Housatonic Street. A ceremony was held in the new Housing Resource Center on First Street, which was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. 
 
The apartments will be leased out by Hearthway, with ServiceNet as a partner. 
 
Prior to the ribbon-cutting, public officials and community resource personnel were able to tour the two new permanent supported housing projects — West Housatonic Apartments and The First Street Apartments and Housing Resource Center
 
The First Street location has nine studio apartments that are about 300 square feet and has a large community center. The West Housatonic Street location will have 28 studio units that range between 300 to 350 square feet. All units can be adapted to be ADA accessible. 
 
The West Housatonic location is still under construction with the hope to have it completed by the middle of January, said Chris Wilett, Hearthway development associate.
