Tranquil Thursday

De-stress with origami

All you need is a couple of squares of paper!

Join this family friendly activity at 12:15PM on Zoom on Thursday (password foldpaper).

This is a guided workshop by Dana Lance, Youth Program Coordinator at Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba.

If you'd like to use some fun paper for this activity (other than the back of drafts of old assignments), contact ArtsJunktion Mb Inc. a community-based, charitable organization committed to redistributing reusable materials. Located in the Exchange, ArtsJunktion operates on a pay-what-you can model for reclaimed craft supplies and has some great paper in-stock, as well as a number of pre-made crafting kits.  You can arrange for a curbside pick up of supplies!

Relax with yoga

Take some time to unwind with a 1-hour relaxing yoga practice, filmed exclusively for PACE.

As a bonus if you'd prefer there is also an energizing practice.
