Teens will make art using recycled objects with the help of a Treecycle artist for their upcoming Illuminated Sculpture Forest Walk on April 22 in Stanley Deming Park.
This course will include an in-depth exploration of mindfulness of the body as a path toward calm and connection to ourselves and others. Much more than just a relaxation technique, mindfulness gives us a new way to relate to all of our experience, with kindness, with interest and without judgment. With mindfulness, we can step out of habitual reactions and find new ways to respond to ourselves and others. Each class will include guided mediation practice, teaching and Q&A, as well as optional homework.

An informal spinning group focusing on drop spindle yarn method from wool and other fibers. Beginners and more advanced spinners welcome. Bring your own spindle and fiber, or if you are new to this ancient craft, contact us ahead so we can provide "loaners" to you (a small fee for wool used will be collected as arranged in advance). Drop spindle spinning uses a lightweight spindle that is very portable, as opposed to a heavy and expensive spinning wheel. Co-sponsored by the Friends of Hathorn House Historical Society.
