Observe swans in nature and learn a few swan-inspired poses as part of a Qi-Gong routine. Jill Johnstone, an instructor with Tai Chi Yukon, will lead a session of Qi-Gong (pronounced CHEE-gong), a gentle movement and energy practice rooted in ancient Chinese observations of nature. Adults and children 7 years or older are welcome to attend. Wear clothing that allows for free body movement.
This session will take place outside, either on the grass behind Swan Haven or on the lake shore. Dress accordingly and wear footwear for standing on snow and/or ice.
Location: Outside Swan Haven
One of the best ways to make good observations of wildlife is by trying to draw it. Sketching in a notebook forces us to look at the details and note colour, shape or size. At this workshop we’ll share some strategies for making quick sketches, keeping field journals, and what to look for when watching wildlife. Bring your own notebooks and pencils if you’d like, but we’ll provide paper and pencils and some cooperative subjects to practice sketching.
This is a stationary outdoor event next to a still-frozen lake, so remember to dress warmly.
Please register for this event (free) as space is limited. Register for this event (opens at noon one week before).
Location: The picnic tables outside Swan Haven
Bring a camp chair and a cozy blanket for a musical evening with the swans. If conditions allow, we’ll have a campfire so you can roast marshmallows.
We’ll provide song books and some acoustic accompaniment. Join in song or just sit back and enjoy an evening of outdoor music, no talent necessary!
Remember to dress warm as we’ll be sitting on the ice. Bring your own picnic dinner, camp chair and blankets. The fire will be lit at 6 pm with music starting at 6:30 pm.
Location: On the lake behind Swan Haven
The Marsh Lake Community Society invites seniors and elders to enjoy tea, coffee, sandwiches, homemade goodies and swan viewing. Live music too!
