Mindful Mothers’ Day Retreat

Posted on by

Mothers need to be honored and adored.  What a better day to be reminded of this but on Mothers’ Day!  Take time to nurture yourself.  Go for a walk, arrange a massage, lunch with friends, take an exercise class, read a book– anything that brings you joy.

Gina Hassan is leading her annual Mothers Day retreat (a day early) on Saturday, May 12 and is another wonderful option for treating yourself.

“Come honor your motherhood.  Practice mindfulness with meditation & yoga, explore the path of mindful motherhood, cultivate spaciousness & connect with the powerful wisdom of the present moment.  Give this gift of care to yourself or a mother you know.

May 12, 2012.  Cost $70

May 6: Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour (free)

Why bring your baby?  Trees make the best natural mobiles, flowers offer stimulating colors and smells, take your babies hand and feel the acorns, walnuts, perhaps a soft rabbits ear leaf…all for free on the Bring Back the Natives Garden Tour!

“40 bird- and butterfly-friendly, pesticide-free, water conserving, low
maintenance gardens that contain 60% or more native plants will be open on
Sunday, May 6 from 10-5 at various locations throughout Alameda and Contra
Costa counties. Gardens with activities for children include:
San Lorenzo High School’s garden and Native Plant Nursery
10:30-4:30 “Ongoing talk: Native American medicinal and culinary uses
of California native plants” and “Native American games and
activities for children (and adults!)” Spear-throwing, acorn pounding,
walnut dice and more. At the Alatorre garden in Richmond 13 species
of butterflies flutter, and the hosts write: ”Bring your children!
Reclaimed school room chalkboards grace the garden, and are open for use on
the day of the Tour.” Registration by 4/28 is required at

SF Family Dance Party

Posted on by

My daughter took dance classes with Alli for 2 years.  Alli was always creative, responsive and one of the most nurturing teachers I’ve ever met.  She works magic with kids, especially in groups.  Although my daughter is too old for this party, perhaps you want to take your little one!
