SUMMARY:Grow More - Mow Less!
DESCRIPTION:Horticulturalist Kate Small will talk about a nuanced approach to “No Mow May”\, and what we can do in our yards and public spaces to increase habitat and reduce lawn. In America over 40 million acres of land are covered by turf grass\, resulting in a lack of biodiversity; increased air pollution; and fertilizer runoff into our watersheds. Reducing lawns in our parks and yards is an important step towards a healthy ecosystem. Kate will talk about replacing lawn with native shrubs\, sedges\, grasses\, ferns\, and perennials preferred by native insects and birds to increase biodiversity and decrease lawns. \nHosted by Friends of Heights Parks  \nSaturday\, May 4 | 10AM – 12PM | Forest Hills Park Cleveland Heights Community Center  \nFree.

SUMMARY:Meditation in Nature
DESCRIPTION:The natural world is the perfect place to nourish your inner world! The sights and sounds naturally steady the mind\, releasing the busy thoughts. This class will help you deepen these experiences and will empower you to draw upon this meditation technique on your own.

We will then move outdoors\, weather permitting\, for a walking meditation practice. \nAbout your instructor: \nJudy (Jyoti) Evans\, MD\, RYT-200\, offers personalized yoga instruction through her online platform\, Purna Yoga (www.purnayoga.world) \, and teaches group classes at Lotus Flower Yoga Collective in Cleveland Heights https://lotusflowercle.com/ \nRegistration required. $10 per class or $25 for all three classes. Members enjoy a $5 discount with promo code. \nhttps://givebutter.com/auDkfA

She is a Fulbright\, Martin Luther King Jr. and the United States of America State Department Fellow and New Music USA Creator Development Fund receiver\, among other distinctions. In the last years\, Carolina has been exploring the cello as an ever expanding and versatile instrument in different music settings\, as well as discovering her voice as a Cantaora (traditional Afro Colombian singer). \nCarolina’s work for the past years reflects her avid search for her roots and creativity\, together with her role as a woman of the African diaspora.

We serve Northeast Ohio citizens in K-12 schools\, residential communities serving seniors\, and assisted living communities serving the physically and mentally challenged. \nwww.rootsofamericanmusic.org \n  \n \nSupport for Summer Wednesday’s is provided by the Nord Family Foundation
