The classes are designed to spark and maintain children’s interest in Spanish by engaging them in creative and enjoyable cultural activities such as dancing, singing, literature, art and games. Through immersion, children will learn the Spanish language naturally and easily as they master basic pre-school skills.

INTRODUCTORY ADULT SEWING

with Teresa Garcia Whether you’re a first-time seamstress-inthe-making or a frequent dabbler looking to increase your knowledge and refine your sewing skills, this program is the perfect place to start. Introductory Sewing is our most technically focused most comprehensive sewing course.

And it’s fun to boot! You’ll learn the basics of sewing plus how to work with a pattern. You’ll build a solid sewing foundation (read: be able to sew anything after this!) and you’ll leave with three projects including a sleep pants, skirt and a lined vest. And men, we didn’t forget you. We have had many men in our introductory Sewing classes over the years and while some men enjoy making skirts for the women in their lives, others may wish to make something for themselves so we use a pajama pant pattern.

SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES: • Sewing machine basics • Tools and terminology • Stitches: Regular stitch, stay stitch, topstitch, edge stitch, basting, stitch-in-the-ditch • Seam finishes: Serging, zigzag, over-edge zigzag • Preparing, marking and cutting fabric • Reading a commercial pattern • Installing regular zippers, waistbands and interfacing • Sewing a garment that fits including adjusting the size and sewing darts • Hemming a garment properly All machines, fabric and patterns are supplied. You are welcome to bring your own machine to learn on.

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: Drumming is a fun and rewarding way to learn about oneself and other cultures, as well as to share in community.

Classes are geared towards learning about the rhythms of the drum, and how to bring out the rhythm each of us carries inside. Students are introduced to basic rhythmic & percussive concepts, including measure, tempo, Call & Response, the Pulse/Beat, and more. Through gentle, tried-and-true teaching techniques and games, the vast world of hand drumming is explored. Lessons cover tips on technique and solos, a series of rhythms, arrangements, and the rich and diverse African culture around the drum. Drums provided. This class is also well adapted for children, who often do as well or better than the adults!

INTERMEDIATE: Pre-requisite: Knowledge of the gundungodo-pata method of hand drumming or equivalent. This class is for students who have some experience on hand drums and want to dig deeper into understanding the rhythms which surround them, and to integrate them into their lives, while learning to lead as well as to work as a team. Along with games, stories and music, lessons will cover specific rhythms, as well as measure, tempo, solo techniques, West African culture and much more. Join in the fun! Drums provided.

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. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

Intermediate: This class will instruct students in off-leash control. This is done with the addition of a 30 foot long line.

ALL Dogs must have current rabies and distemper vaccinations. A 6 foot comfortable leash is required. Special nylon choke collar included in fee.

Minimum owner age is 11 years old.

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.
