with Lila Volkas Have you heard of Kombucha, the beverage the ancient Chinese called the “Immortal Health Elixir?” It’s been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like improving digestion, boosting energy and helping your immune system. It is made from sweetened tea that’s been fermented by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (a SCOBY, a.k.a. “mother” because of its ability to reproduce, or “mushroom” because of its appearance). By brewing yourself, you’ll save and get to play around with your favorite flavors! Participants will receive a Kombucha Brewing Kit including a SCOBY, starter liquid and an illustrated “how to” guide.

BEGINNING DOG OBEDIENCE (DOGS 4 MONTHS +)

Family Members Age 11+ with Paige Tyson. Questions about class content? Call 209.532.6269 Beginning: Your dog is taught to sit, down, stay, come, heel and easy (walking nicely at the end of the leash without pulling). The dog is taught to move freely and easily with the collar, so one day you barely have to use it! The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home. You will need a 6 foot comfortable leash.

Meditation CHAKRA MEDITATION NEW

Age 13+ with Vera Quijano, www.VeraQuijano.com Chakras are junction points of spiraling energy that govern your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. They correlate with specific structures and functions of your body, and are heavily influenced by various circumstances in your life. When these wheels of energy endure stress, your body mind coordination is disrupted, and life may become overwhelming. Mantras are sounds that are repeated to aid in concentration. This guided meditation class is designed to utilize mantras to help you heal your seven primary chakras, coordinate and balance the energy between them, and revive your personal power to energize them. The ultimate intention of this practice is to help you create harmony and restore peace to your everyday life. Appropriate for men, women, and teens. Wear comfortable clothing. If preferred, bring a pillow or blanket to sit on. CODE
