Adult Programs

Baby It's Cold Outside - Paint a Winter Scene

Sunday, December 6  |   11:30-2:30 pm
This versatile 11”x17” lantern lets a flickering candle take center stage when you add this hand painted winter scene on it. You can hang it or place on a tabletop adding that warm ambience to your home.  Under the tutelage of Robert Tuska, artist/muralist, you will be given all the supplies needed to create this.  You may bring your own smock. Space is limited to 12 participants. Pre-registration is required. Participants are required to wear a mask for the entire program.
The program is sponsored, in part, by a grant from the JPB Foundation.
Ages: Adults   |  $35* per person

Forest Therapy Experience

Saturday, December 19  |   10:30-11:45 am
Join us for a 75-minute forest bathing experience, in the style of the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku. Led by certified forest therapy guide, Linda Lombardo of Wild Heart Nature Connection, you will learn about forest bathing, also called forest therapy, a way to create a deeper connection with nature. You will slow down as we open our senses to what is in motion around us. A warmup to some more personal invitations created in partnership with the forest, designed especially for this Alley Pond Park walk! You will have the option of sharing your experience with others or sharing the beauty of silence as you rediscover your wild heart in nature. All precautions are taken to create a safe and enjoyable nature connection in compliance with New York’s phase 4 reopening. Masks must be worn in the group. Please feel free to bring whatever you require to make this a safe and enjoyable experience. 
Ages: Adults   |  $15* per person
