SHAC is inviting one and all to take part in an every Wednesday FREE Foam Ball Tennis Child & Parent Team fun activity starting this Wednesday 10/16.

This fun Child and Parent program will be each Wednesday evening from 5:45-6:45 on the indoor court at SHAC Center, 27 Lake Avenue in Averill Park.  It is open to kids 5-10 years old who come with their parent, guardian or older sibling. We will give basic instruction and then play some fun tennis-type games. Your kids have already experienced similar activities as part of our summer camp or during last year’s Winter Break event and I suspect this time you may like to join in on the fun with them.  If you can’t come each Wednesday no problem. Come when you can, you and your child will have a lot of fun whenever you do.

Information about this activity can be found in the program description attached or online at www.shaccenter.org. Come join the fun this Wednesday and all following Wednesdays through November 20th.

Nature Book Club

Tuesday, December 3 at 7pm on Zoom
For December, we’re reading The Nature Principle by Richard Louv.The immediacy of Richard Louv’s message in Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder galvanized an international movement to reconnect children with nature. Now, in The Nature Principle, Louv reaches even further with a powerful call to action for the rest of us.

Richard Louv makes a convincing case that through a nature-balanced existence—driven by sound economic, social, and environmental solutions—the human race can and will thrive. This timely, inspiring, and important work will give readers renewed hope while challenging them to rethink the way we live.

This book is available through the Upper Hudson Library System, on Hoopla through the library, at Market Block Books, and through other book sellers.

Winter Solstice Mindful Walk

with Sandy Wilson
Sunday, December 15, 2024, 10 am – 12:30 pm
Albert Family Community Forest
East Nassau, NY
In nature, darkness is essential. Trees and plants need time to recharge their cycles. Animals and reptiles and amphibians go underground for much-needed rest and replenishment. Humans needs this time to recharge as well.

This walk will focus on an intentional, contemplative space for reflecting on the season. We will engage in guided meditation and solo reflection alongside a slow, mindful saunter in nature while we reflect on the sacred wisdom offered when we are attentive to the voice of nature in the season, of the change in ourselves and in our local landscape. The sharing of tea and counsel will end the session.
