Hey Cleveland, hope you got a chance to enjoy some time in the sun this week. Spring is a great time to pick up a new skill, give back to the community and take time for self-care and reflection. We have ideas for things you can do in Cleveland this weekend. And remember, if you hear about a great event, share it with us in the form below.
Photography for teens
Teens ages 11 to 18 can learn basic photography skills during a three-week workshop. Classes run three Saturdays in a row, May 4, 11 and 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center, 2800 Archwood Ave. A handheld digital camera is ideal for this hands-on workshop, but mobile phone cameras can work as well.
Visit the center’s website to register.
RiverSweep 2024
Protect the Cuyahoga River by participating in a one-day clean-up effort Saturday, May 4, from 9 to 11 a.m. The annual RiverSweep removes loads of trash from the Big Creek Connector to Booth Avenue. Over the last 34 years, 21,000 people have helped recycle 25,005 illegally discarded tires and picked up almost 1.5 million pounds of trash
Volunteers are still needed at locations in Slavic Village. Sign up to volunteer on the Canalway Partners website. The clean up will be held rain or shine.
Family meditation
Family meditation is offered the first Sunday of the month at the Songtsen Gampo Buddhist Center in Lakewood. Each Sunday will have a theme, such as Cultivating Joy. Families will participate in a short meditation session and learn a family-friendly practice to continue at home. Children of all ages are welcome. Cushions are provided, and slip-on shoes are recommended. Learn more on their website.
