FREE Youth Strength Training Session (Ages 11–15)

Give your teen the opportunity to discover how strength training can help them become stronger, more confident, and more active—all in a safe and supportive environment.

Join us for Morning Meditation on the Waterfront hosted by Hunters Point Parks Conservancy in partnership with Meditation in Queens.

Our root mind is naturally light, boundless, and deeply peaceful. We imagine our mind as the vast, clear blue sky, and the mental busyness and painful emotions we experience as clouds. Through training our mind, we allow these clouds to dissolve, revealing the boundless potential within us. In just 30 minutes of meditation, we can shape the flow of our entire day. By connecting to our clear sky-like mind and intentionally cultivating inner peace, we can access the best of ourselves and learn to live from this place. While the meditations we offer are Buddhist, they appeal to anyone seeking to cultivate a deeper state of inner peace and authentic happiness. After the guided meditation, we will have 15 minutes for Q&A and community time.

Crabs: Ink and Color

What exactly makes a crab a crab? In this STEAM-inspired workshop, we’ll explore the surprising diversity of these crustaceans—from familiar local species to unusual crabs from around the world. We'll look at crab anatomy, taxonomy, habitats, diets, adaptations, native and invasive species, and some of the strange ways crabs have evolved to survive.

Then we'll put science aside—or at least loosen the rules a little. Using ink, participants will draw real crabs, invented species, or fantastical combinations inspired by what we’ve learned. Finally, we'll bring them to life with markers or watercolor.

No drawing experience necessary. Come ready to observe, experiment, and perhaps discover a crab species that exists only on paper.

This class is for teens and adults.

Stay tuned for registration link!
