Weekend Fun: Forest Bathing, Nepali Music, Clothes & Craft Supply Swaps
|
Explore the forest in Mount Auburn Cemetery this weekend.
Here’s a potential weekend plan for locals this weekend: First, go into your craft or art room if you have one, and grab some of the items that you thought you would use, but never have, or maybe you don’t do that craft anymore. Take them to the library on Saturday afternoon for the craft swap. Head home, have a nap, snack, or get your 10,000 steps in. Then in the evening go to the Armenian Cultural and Education Center for an amazing evening of Nepali music. On Sunday afternoon, while your teens (if you have them) are at the clothing swap, go get mellow at the Forest Bathing walk and meditation at Mount Auburn Cemetery. Then you can go home, try out some new art supplies and enjoy the rest of your Sunday. What a great weekend!
