The History of Mystery & Magic
Sunday, March 8th
2:00-3:00pm
 
*Rescheduled from Feb.*
 
 Magician Mike Rose combines his love of performing with his passion for magic history creating the new show, “The History of Mystery.” This is definitely not your typical magic show! During the performance the audience will not only hear about magic and magicians from the past but they will see antiquarian magic recreated and performed. Many of the pieces of magic apparatus used in the performance are rare antiques from Mike’s personal collection. The historical facts and tidbits about magic’s past make the show fascinating and the performance of the magic makes the show engaging and fun.
 
For teens and adults. If you were previously registered for this event, your registration was carried over.

Teen Meditation Workshop
Monday, March 9th
4:00-5:00pm
 
*Rescheduled from Feb*
 
Learn a new skill and get another self-help technique under your belt with our meditation workshop! Instructor José Rivera-Benitez will explain the steps to help meditate at home and then lead the group through a guided meditation. Meditation has been proven to kickstart the body's relaxation response, which can lower stress levels and help teens focus on the present. Teens will leave with the ability to run through meditation on their own — though we encourage everyone to come back for our following workshops to build on their knowledge!
 
For teens 14-18. If you were previously registered for this event, you must re-register.
