Weekend Planner: Funtastic and Mindful Saturday, Plugging in and More!

1. There are some pretty FUNtastic Saturdays (for Kids) in Linden Square. This weekend, for example, the program continues with decorating a summer tote bag, and musicians who likes noise--the Bravo Brothers. Starts at 1 p.m., runs to 4 p.m. in Linden Square. 

2. Take a deep breath right now. Now, put some of your weekend aside for a Day of Mindfulness. Saturday, starting at 9 a.m., Visions Healthcare in Wellesley wants to give you a real retreat, as a teacher and healer, Patricia Howard brings some of her mindfulness-based stress techniques to you. The cost is $95 and food is not included (so bring a bag lunch). Call Stephanie at 781-232-5431 for more information and to register.

3. You are invited to the Great Plain Squares Summer Dance! Whatever your style, swing by First Parish in Needham on Saturday for a hot and sultry night (with air conditioning). For those in the know, the program is MS/Plus squares with alternating Rounds in 2+2 format. The cost is $7, and they welcome refreshment contributions. 

4. Regis College (Weston) wants to teach you How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. Or, at least show you their version of a Broadway play of the same title. The show runs this weekend, tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for children under 12. Call the box office at 781-768-7070, or visit www.westondramaworkshop.org or www.ticketstage.com to buy. 

5. Noon on Sunday, Plugged In invites you to Meet the Teachers!  Kids 8 to 18 are welcome to come and join the practice space, so get to know who they'll be working with. Come to their Needham location from noon to 2 p.m., when their teachers will be there to chat about their programs and experiences, and show you a bit of the Plugged In program.
