The Maridon Museum is offering every third Thursday at 6 p.m. a short Dharma based on the teachings of Buddha and a contemplative period of meditation. These lessons are open to anyone. The Crystal Lotus meditation group will host and support beginning practitioners of meditation, which has proven to be beneficial for those suffering stress, anger, and general emotional strife. Donations welcome.  All proceeds benefit The Maridon.

On October 13 at 10 a.m. there will be a morning session and lunch to study and practice yoga, a deep muscle practice that aids in self-knowledge. There is a fee of $30/person, $25 Members.

My dog and I are Meissen Porcelain figures from the mid-19th Century Germany. How wonderful it is to play toss the hoop and be in a special exhibit at the same time. See how my wonderful little best friend is dressed for the occasion! We feel so very special.

The Maridon Museum founder, Mary Hulton Phillips, discovered us in 1984. This was long before she thought about building a museum. For many years we were at home with hundreds of other Meissen friends in Mrs. Phillips’ display cases. Looking at us was like gazing out on a sea of striking colors and poses reflecting all walks of life. There were soldiers and street sellers, workers of trades, queens and kings, mythical creatures, and many more. It was all so magical.

Today we are among several of our companions in the “Man’s Best Friend” exhibit in honor of the Year of The Dog. We are located in the Side Gallery of the Museum.
