At YMCA Healthy Kids Day, the focus is on how to maintain a healthy mind, body and spirit all year long. We're glad to be able to participate in the event and we'll be talking about our Unplug & Recharge Meditation Class at the Muttart Conservatory. We encourage the connection between a calm, healthy parent and a calm, healthy child. During the free event, we will be demonstrating a mindful exercise parents and children can do together to develop their appreciation of the world around them. Stop in and see us at the William Lutsky Family YMCA | 1975 - 111 St | 12-3pm
Putrella has returned and she's bloomin' great! When we took this video she was still curled up in the Muttart Conservatory biding her time getting ready to explode. Our Unplug & Recharge Meditation Class had a chance to share some space with this giant of the flower world. We like to think she meditated with us during our class. Now that's she has bloomed, her flower is a gorgeous purple/red but her fragrance leaves a little to be desired. The scent is suppose to mimic carrion. Putrella reminds me of Audrey II, the flower in the play "Little Shop of Horrors". Crowds are lining up to see her. In fact yesterday, the Muttart Conservatory stayed open all night and will be open again tonight until 9 PM. Will she displace our next meditation class? Stay tuned to find out.
