SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Walk at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard about “Shinrin-yoku” or “forest bathing”? Here is an opportunity to take a walk and experience the practice for yourself. Learn techniques to maximize the health benefits and stress reducing qualities of this walking practice. Shinrin-yoku originated in Japan and is gaining popularity in the United States for its documented health benefits. This practice takes a walk in the woods to another level. A centering and calming restorative practice\, it promotes balance and restored vitality through a quality of presence and heightened sensory awareness. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park hosts a Forest Therapy Series as part of its Park Rx Program the 4th Sunday of the month (March through November) led by certified Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) practitioners. \nWe invite you to join us on this therapeutic experience of sights\, sounds\, scents\, touch\, and memory. The outing begins at the White Barn and meanders less than one mile from the start point in a reverie of introspection and connection to the natural world.

SUMMARY:Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain at The Green Music Center
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1985 – Wham are topping charts and everyone has enormous hair. The first ever mobile phone (the size of a brick) is on sale and scientists locate the site of the sunken Titanic. Microsoft Windows is launched\, and Bob Geldof persuades just about everyone to appear in the biggest line up we’ve ever seen to raise millions for Live Aid. Back to the Future is on our screens\, the first episode of Eastenders is beamed into British homes\, and what’s THAT coming over the hill? Why\, it’s the sixteen-handed\, all-singing\, all-plucking Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain\, and they’re coming this way… \nFour decades (and 400\,000\,000 plucks) later they’re still thrilling audiences with their off-beat humour and four-stringed virtuosity from Tasmania to the Arctic Circle\, Windsor Castle to Carnegie Hall. \nFormed as the antidote to mindless pop\, egocentric rock\, and the indulgent\, bluster of the music business\, what is the secret of their longevity? Perhaps it’s the menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping classics? Or the fact that there are no drums\, pianos\, backing tracks\, guitars\, or banjos\, no pitch shifters or electronic trickery – just an astonishing revelation of the rich palette of orchestration afforded by ukuleles plus fulsome vocals. \nCome and celebrate the 40th anniversary of this much-loved institution\, on a white-knuckle shopping-trolley dash through every kind of musical genre. From ABBA to ZZ Top\, Tchaikovsky to Nirvana\, Bluegrass to Broadway with maybe a Spaghetti Western thrown in. \nThe Ukulele Orchestra proudly present their 40th Year Anniversary World Tour “with only hand luggage”; a witty\, quirky\, irreverent\, awesome\, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment\, all played on the ‘bonsai guitar”. \nCatch them whilst you can.

SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Technology High Students heading to Odyssey of the Mind World Finals!
DESCRIPTION:Five remarkable 9th graders from Technology High School just did something extraordinary.  They competed against teams from across Northern California — and won. Now they’re heading to the Odyssey of Mind World Finals in Iowa this May. \nOdyssey of Mind is an international competition where students take on complex\, open-ended problems using creativity\, engineering\, performance\, and pure teamwork. Every idea\, every solution\, every performance comes entirely from the students themselves. \nThese five kids have put in months of hard work to get here. But getting to Iowa takes more than talent — it takes resources. They’re currently fundraising to cover travel\, shipping\, lodging\, and registration fees.\nYou can help send them to the World stage. \nSonoma County\, let’s show these students what community support looks like!
