Community Calendar

What if you had the time and support to create–to paint, to draw, and to explore?
At Sketch Club, you can! If you’re an emerging or an established artist who feels called to create, but struggles to find the time and space to create consistently, we’re building this community for you.

You don’t have to keep delaying your creative goals. Sketch Club provides an ideal container: two hours a week on Saturdays in a playful, lighthearted setting to learn, explore, and try new things.

If you crave a friendly environment and a passionate creative community, you’re in the right place.

With the growing awareness of holistic and complementary approaches to personal balance and inner growth, the concept of transformation through spiritual practices is gaining increased attention.
Bruno Groening (1906-1959) brought a simple message: there is a higher power that is the basis of all living things. He showed how this power can be absorbed freely to transform body and soul.
Since 1979 the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends has continued to pass on his Teaching on living in harmony with natural and spiritual laws.
Speakers will include Mrs. Brigitte Hutter from Germany and Mr. Jan Skopic from the Czech Republic.
The event is open to all who are interested.

Student Orientation Session for incoming students: We will review all the essential information to ensure a successful start, including Academic policies, Attendance requirements, Dress Code and our digital Learning Management System. You will also get a guided tour of the campus and classrooms to help you find your way around, alongside dedicated support to set up your new laptop. We look forward to sharing some fun moments together as well!

Opened in 2015, the Ross Medical Education Center Knoxville campus is located just about a mile from the intersection of I-75 and I-140, right off of Kingston Pike in the Windsor Square shopping center.
