At Yoga Farm, we teach meditation for householders—people who live in the world, who have relatioships, jobs, families, houses, and to-do lists.

In this weekly session, we work with a new Sutra from the book 'The Radiance Sutras' by Lorin Roche. Each Sutra is a beautiful exploration of one of the 'gateways' to meditation.

From 8-8:15am we read, discuss and explore a Sutra, then we enjoy silent meditation  together until about 8:45. 

This offering is FREE to the Public.

How does life not only adapt to difficult stresses, but thrive? The Museum of the Earth welcomes you to learn about extreme life at Darwin Family Day. Come listen to Cornell astronomy researchers, hear stories, make stuff, meet Team Microbe, and discover some organisms that live on the extremes.

Storytime: "Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes"
Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Take a closer look at microbes. Examine the different kinds of microorganisms we interact with every day. Observe microbes through a microscope and their interaction with everyday objects. Get hands on with a “tiny” science experiment and make your own microbe to take home.

Presentation: “How life on Earth changes how we search for life on other planets”
Jack Madden, PhD Student in Cornell University's Department of Astronomy
Time: 1 pm
Jack has been working with Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger on exoplanet habitability at Cornell since 2014. His work involves modeling atmospheres and identifying the biggest factors that influence the conditions possible for life on planets outside our solar system.

Plus:
- TEAM MICROBE from Cornell: Learn about the microbial world and see for yourself the interesting life of microscopic creatures.
- Adaptations station: what kind of adaptations are needed to live in the harsh environment of a desert?
- Tardigrade viewing: See and learn about these strange creatures that can survive in extremes environments.
- and Face Painting!

Part of "Extreme Life!" - Darwin Days 2018, February 11-17. Celebrate the wild world of evolution through our annual celebration of the life and ideas of Charles Darwin. Cornell University and the Paleontological Research Institution are sponsoring an exploration of "extreme life" during the 2018 Darwin Days. Discover how life is able to thrive in Earth’s extreme environments and learn how life might evolve on other planets. Visit www.priweb.org/DarwinDays for a full schedule of events.
