SUMMARY:Sunset Meditation
DESCRIPTION:How do STEM workers\, including NASA professionals\, cope with stress? Exercise is one way. Physical activity and fitness have been discussed in many NASA outreach efforts. However\, outreach efforts regarding other branches of health\, such as emotional\, psychological\, and social well-being\, are lacking. Given that jobs come with stress\, a global understanding of the science of stress and learning a healthy way to cope with it helps with the well-being of employees\, job productivity\, employee retention\, etc. Meditation is a powerful tool for maintaining psychological health and resilience. Since the planetarium offers a dark and quiet space for relaxation\, it is the perfect place for meditation. Enjoy a guided meditation experience from Ball State University with the program “Sunset Meditation.” View a fantastic sunset as you travel from the Grand Canyon to the North Pole. Then\, relax under a night sky filled with stars and glimpses of the Northern Lights. \nFulldome Film\nApprox 25 Minutes\nGet Tickets \nView the Trailer Here!

SUMMARY:Mutts Gone Nuts
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nGet Tickets \nMain Stage\n(Building 11A)\nAdults $22\, Children $18 \n \nExpect the unexpected\, as canines and comedy collide in a smash hit performance\, that’s leaving audiences everywhere howling for more. From shelters to showbiz\, these amazing mutts unleash havoc and hilarity in a breathtaking\, action-packed\, comedy dog spectacular\, featuring some of the world’s most talented 4 legged performers. Deemed ‘A Must See’ by the Washington Post\, the dogs are sure to steal your heart\, and then your socks! \nThe 4:00 PM Performance will be a Relaxed Performance. Relaxed performances are designed to create a welcoming environment for all visitors\, including individuals with neurodiversity and sensory needs. These dedicated performances will feature all the joy of a typical theater setting\, with a few adjustments to help attendees feel more comfortable. This can include adjustments to lighting and sound\, an environment that allows for movement and breaks when needed\, and an inclusive staff that welcomes guests from the moment they arrive. Families who do not require these accommodations are still welcome to attend. \nAbout the Dogs\nMutts Gone Nuts Mission & Assurances: Our show’s dogs were adopted from animal shelters or from rescue groups. We use all positive\, reward-based training methods\, which means: We reward and reinforce the behaviors that we want (with treats\, toys\, praise) and we ignore the behaviors we don’t want. We look for what our dogs like to do naturally\, and cultivate those talents. \nLiving Conditions for our dogs: Our dogs travel in large\, padded\, climate controlled kennels for their safety when on tour. They have 2 acres of fenced area to run when at home. All of our dogs live indoors and are never kept outside in kennels\, and are USDA APHIS (Animal Welfare) registered. \nPlease note that it is the Grunin Center Policy for all Family Shows that all attendees\, regardless of age\, require a ticket. \n \nThis performance is sponsored by RWJBarnabas Health Community Medical Center.
