It's that time of year when gardens explode in a palette of colors. After another year of historic rainfalls, mother nature might be painting with more hues than usual.

Today on AirTalk, we're talking about the best gardens in SoCal, from the public to the private, Descanso Gardens to San Diego's Balboa Park. We want to hear from you.

#126: It's summer! Time for all night, experimental ambient music gatherings....right???  Ambient music gatherings as a thing have been gaining popularity here in the LA area in the past few years. These immersive events combine elements of music, theater, dance, live visual art and poetry to create a really impactful experience meant to take you on a journey of sorts.  And the roots of these events come from what's known as “happenings” that trace back to 1960s loft parties in New York, and even further to traditional, meditative trance music from places like India and Morocco.  Today, HTLA producer Megan Botel takes you to a recent ambient music event called Tonalism at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge to tell you what this scene is all about.  Guests: Mark "Frosty" McNeil, co-founder of Dublab and Creative Producer of LA Phil; Hatt Merlino, producer at Dublab, Rachel Day, program director at Dublab

Can’ın Cesaretli Macerası: Kayıp Kedi Mia Bölüm 1: Descanso Gardens’a Hoş Geldiniz! Bir zamanlar, Can adında 10 yaşında bir çocuk vardı. Can, anne ve babasıyla birlikte güzel ve büyük bir bahçede, Descanso Gardens’ta yaşıyordu. Bu bahçe, rengârenk çiçeklerle, büyük ağaçlarla ve sayısız hayvan dostuyla dolu huzurlu bir yerdi. Can, burada arkadaşları Aylin, Sarah, Aron, Eva Jenna ve öğretmenleri Mr. Vakian ile birlikte çok mutlu ve eğlenceli zamanlar geçirirdi. Can’ın en sevdiği yer, bahçenin tam ortasında bulunan ve üzerinde türlü oyunlar oynayabileceği eski bir ağacın altıydı. Ağacın dalları, Can ve arkadaşları için mükemmel bir saklambaç alanıydı. Can, bu ağacın altında uzanarak gökyüzüne bakmayı da çok severdi. Aylin, Can’ın en iyi arkadaşıydı. İkisi, ağaçların arasında koşarak, kelebekleri izleyerek ve bahçede yaşayan hayvanlarla konuşarak vakit geçirirdi. Can ve Aylin’in en sevdiği hayvanlardan biri, Mia adında şirin ve kıvrak bir kedi idi. Mia, Can ve Aylin’in her macerasına katılır ve onlarla birlikte eğlenirdi. Bir gün, Can ve Aylin ağaçların arasında koşarken, aniden karşılarına Michael Jackson’ın hayaleti çıktı. Bu durum, Can ve Aylin’i çok şaşırttı. Michael Jackson, onlara şarkı söyleyerek bir mesaj bıraktı: “Cesaretinizle dünyayı fethedebilirsiniz, genç arkadaşlar. Unutmayın, cesaret sizin en büyük gücünüzdür.” Can ve Aylin, Michael Jackson’ın sözlerini düşündüler ve cesaretin önemini anladılar. Bu olaydan sonra, Can ve Aylin kendilerine daha fazla güvenir ve her karşılaştıkları zorluğun üstesinden gelmeyi başarırlardı. Bölüm 2: Kayıp Kedi Mia’nın Peşinde Bir gün, Can ve Aylin bahçede oyun oynarken, Mia’nın çok uzaklara gittiğini fark ettiler. İçlerinden bir his, Mia’nın başının belaya girdiğini söylüyordu. Can ve Aylin, Mia’nın peşine düştüler ve onu bulmak için bahçenin her köşesini aramaya başladılar. Mia’yı ararken, Can ve Aylin önce anne ve babalarından yardım istediler. Onlar da çocuklarına katılarak, Mia’nın izini sürmeye başladılar. Aile, bahçenin her yerinde, çiçeklerin arasında, ağaçların üzerinde ve gölette Mia’nın izini aradılar. Ancak ne kadar uğraşırlarsa uğraşsınlar, Mia’yı bulamadılar. Can ve Aylin, Mia’yı aramaktan yorulmuşlardı, ama asla vazgeçmeyeceklerdi. Michael Jackson’ın sözlerini hatırlayarak, cesaretlerini topladılar ve Mia’yı buluncaya kadar aramaya devam etmeye karar verdiler. Uzun saatler boyunca süren arama sırasında, Can ve Aylin ormanda ilginç ve farklı yaratıklarla karşılaştılar. Bunlar arasında konuşan kuşlar, dans eden sincaplar ve hatta şarkı söyleyen kurbağalar vardı. Bu yaratıklar, Can ve Aylin’in Mia’yı arama sürecine renk kattı ve onlara enerji verdi. Mia’yı arama macerası sırasında, Can ve Aylin yaşadıkları yerin ne kadar büyülü ve özel olduğunu daha iyi anladılar. Descanso Gardens, onlar için sadece bir bahçeden daha fazlasıydı; bu, arkadaşlık, sevgi ve cesaretin öğrenildiği bir dünya idi. Bölüm 3: Mia’yı Bulma ve Mutlu Son Can ve Aylin, Mia’yı ararken gece olunca daha da endişelendiler. Gökyüzünde dolunay vardı ve her şey daha gizemli görünüyordu. Can ve Aylin, yorulmalarına rağmen Mia’yı aramaya devam ettiler ve en sonunda onu bahçenin en ücra köşesinde, büyük bir ağacın köklerinde buldular. Mia, korkmuş ve üşümüş bir şekilde ağlıyordu. Can ve Aylin, Mia’yı kucağına alarak sevdiler ve onu eve götürdüler. O gece, Mia’yı buldukları için çok mutluydular ve bir daha asla onun başına bir şey gelmemesi için daha dikkatli olmaya söz verdiler. Mia’nın kaybolma macerası, Can ve Aylin’e cesaretin önemini bir kez daha hatırlattı. Her zorluk karşısında asla vazgeçmemeyi ve birbirlerine güvenmeyi öğrenmişlerdi. Bu güçlü arkadaşlık ve cesaret sayesinde, Can ve Aylin Descanso Gard

This Fall Great Pumpkin LumiNights will take place at Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia. 2021 has proved to be the park's biggest opening season yet, and with its success, park officials have decided to add the new Halloween event. Great Pumpkin LumiNights will feature "larger-than-life" pumpkin sculptures throughout the park. The event has already been implemented in the company's sister theme parks - including Dollywood. The family-friendly experience is a $700,000 investment for the park.On June 30th, Mary Shelley's House of Frankenstein in Bath (UK) will open to the public. This interactive experience/museum is bursting with unusual artifacts and vintage items, multi-sensory environments, and assorted body parts. Guests will step into the dark world of Mary Shelley to learn about her tragic life and come face-to-face with an 8-foot recreation of the literary monster that continues to fascinate the world. After the popularity of their Christmas projection show on the Armoury building in Chatham (Ontario, Canada), The Armoury in Lights event organizers have decided to add a Halloween show for 2021. The Halloween event will take place October 14th - 30th with three shows each night. Each show will be 90 minutes - twice as long as their 2020 shows - and feature projections, dancing, and performances. Last year the event switched to a drive-in format and it will remain that way for 2021 - and new for this year is an illuminated entryway featuring works from 10 artists. Applications for performers and artists will be available soon.In the market to buy a haunted house? Waco Haunted House in Central Texas is for sale by co-owners John & Danea Anderson. After 30 years of operation, the Andersons hope to sell it to a new generation of haunters. The sale price will likely be around $600,000 and will include 2 haunted houses (over 7,000 sq. ft. per house), a 60' mobile home/office, store & warehouse, ticket booth tower & concession building, company van, 3 hearses, storage trailers, and more. If the right purchaser comes along, the haunt can be up and running again for the 2021 season.The house of home haunter Kit Espada (East Providence, Rhode Island) was damaged in a fire this past week. Espada hosts an annual Halloween display in her yard, collecting donations and non-perishable food items for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank Association. Some of the homemade props stored in her garage went up in flames, but luckily no one was harmed in the fire. Espada had planned a clown theme for her 2021 display, but with many of her props damaged or lost in the fire, she is doubtful it will happen. A GoFundMe has been set-up for the Estrada family by members of the haunt community.Descanso Gardens in La Cañada, CA announced the return of Carved for this October. The Halloween event features a mile-long trail lined with thousands of professionally-carved, jack-o-lanterns and sculptures made of natural materials. Other activities include pumpkin carving demonstrations, a hay maze, themed food, and a house made of pumpkins. Tickets for this 3-week event will go on sale in September for members and October for the general public.As we prepare for the haunt season, scareactors may want to strengthen their skills for dealing with aggressive guests. The newest entry in The Practical and Theatrical Scare Actor blog has some helpful advice for ways to respond to difficult guests who are aggressive and belligerent. Continuing our scareacting education, the Youtube Channel Spikima Movies released a video on the art of the Jumpscare. Using examples from the films of David Lynch, the video explores how set-up, setting, sound, and pacing can create the perfect jumpscare to startle audiences. There are many tips that can be applied to haunts and immersive theater as well.

Are you ready to be mentored and companioned by a brilliant, majestic, and loving guardian? Why is important to meet your sponsor for Ascension? In this Morning Light Meditation LIVE you’ll have the chance to feel into the energy of your  Beloved Sponsor as you glide through the camellia forest at Descanso Gardens in La Canada, California.  What the video here. Without a sponsor, you are working on the 3D plane alone. We all have a thick ceiling of human energy in the 4th Dimension that we’re working through. It contains every speck of life energy that we’ve ever squandered throughout all of our lifetimes that needs to be freed back to the Light. Without a sponsor this is like manual labor, working with sweat and tears to get through. If you try to travel into the Astral plane and other dimensions without a Sponsor it can actually set you back spiritually.  You are not equipped to handle the Light quotas and the shadow energy that you’ll be opening yourself up to. It can literally fry your circuits and open you up to negative experiences that can take months or even years to recover from. The good news is you already have a sponsor. Meet your Sponsor this Sunday. This Sunday, at 5 PM PST you have an opportunity to “Meet Your Sponsor” in Sanctuary.  Sanctuary is my monthly Sacred Healing Light Meditation where healing and magic happen with the Company of Heaven. The music behind this meditation, Camellia, was created by Michael Gayle.  Listen to more of his music here. Listen to more Morning Light Meditations here. https://angelsofabundanceascensionacademy.com/morning-light-meditations/ If this podcast supports you spiritually, please consider fueling it with your financial support.  Any amount is appreciated. https://Patreon.com/JenniferandMichael

Designers Laura Muller, Maria Videla Juniel, Denise Bosley, Serena Brosio and Frank Slesinski.... This is a look back at the 2019 Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. A phenomenal accomplishment this year. The project reimagined the Boddy House located inside Descanso Gardens. It is a big property. One of the things that always surprises me is how the designers can come in, apply their creative vision and somehow, it all seems to work cohesively with the work of all the other designers. This year was no exception to that phenomenon. Okay, I am keeping my commentary brief here because we have over 16 amazing designers to speak with. I am not going to try and put every designer on one episode because that would be completely exhausting for you. I am going to put this out in four parts with four designers each. This episode features: Laura Muller of Four Point Design - Family Salon Maria Videla Juniel - Ladies Hideaway Denise Bosley - Master Bath Serena Brosio and Frank Slesinski - Guest Lounge This was another journey to the now closed Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, 2019 edition.

Hiking is out due to fires in California, so I'm back pondering at Descanso Gardens about the mystical, magical journey that is the food cycle of life. We hear from our very first BC, my friend Cheryl, about her health concerns and her writing dreams. BC North also stops by to comment. BC Dave updates us on the ups and downs of his life and health and how meditation might help. We say hello to two new friends, BCs Joy and Carol M. I share a snippet from my latest blog post about being a senior plus-sized model and ask for more subscribers to my youtube channel for voice acting. Today's dance moment features an energetic ditty called Mud Pie.

It's a Zen Day by the duck pond at Descanso Gardens. I learn why my favorite bench disappeared from the dry river bed. I contemplate what connections mean - especially to ourselves. Hello to new BC V. Comments from BCs Dave, Sue from the UK and Louise from the UK. Mark the Meditator pops in. Today's dance moment is a chill contemplative song called Zen Garden.

This is a look back at the 2019 Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. A phenomenal accomplishment this year. The project reimagined the Boddy House located inside Descanso Gardens. It is a big property. One of the things that always surprises me is how  the designers can come in, apply their creative vision and somehow, it all seems to work cohesively with the work of all the other designers. This year is no exception to that phenomenon. Okay, I am keeping my commentary brief here because we have over 16 amazing designers to speak with. I am not going to try and put every designer on one episode because that would be completely exhausting for you. I am going to put this out in four parts with four designers each. This episode features; Nicolette Akiko, Robert Frank, Stephanie Hatten and Louise O'Malley. As has been my process for the past year or so, I have video and imagery to compliment the podcast. Listen to the episode and hear how the designers crafted their spaces. They share the stories behind the designs, then make your way over to the Convo By Design YouTube channel and see their work for yourself. My hope is that this will give you an experience that is a close as possible to actually being there, but you can’t because the 2019 Pasadena Showcase House is now closed. I hope you enjoy the tour.

Debra Scacco’s practice is tied to the nature of a line. In her artist statement she writes: “My work is a study of lines of lineage, lines of passage, lines of policy. I aim to question and contest these lines, reflecting a more accurate representation of our layered past by examining the environmental, cultural and political structures of permission by which we live. And in doing so, I seek to highlight lines that are historically undocumented, unarchived, silenced.” Her practice works toward contextualizing her own immigrant history and tracking the lines that make up the paths she and others have taken. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2012, Debra has dedicated her work to the LA River. She has a public installation housed on display at the Los Angeles State Historic Park titled “Origins: Los Angeles River 1815/1825” documenting the previous courses of the LA River; and curated ”La Reina de Los Angeles”: an exhibition with a focus on the LA River that opened on September 16, 2018 at Descanso Gardens.

A sudden bad back forces me to practice getting over "Why Me?" as I hobble around Descanso Gardens. Michelle McKinney's comment makes me think about "Why me?" striking at parties and how we might nip that feeling in the bud before the Robot Aliens can attack!

Shout-outs to new listener, Sunshine and to returning, commenter, Stéfanie from Canada.

Staying connected to today's busy kids who are balancing school, sports and social schedules, is a challenge most parents face. Two Middle School moms have launched a website, www.kidsofftthecouch.com that gives parents great ideas for creating family time beyond soccer games and birthday parties. Sarah Bowman and Diane Shakin have spent years exploring the city with their kids, but what makes their ideas unique is that each of their adventures is inspired by a fantastic film. After screening “A Secret Garden”, they explored a real secret garden at The Descanso Gardens in Pasadena. After watching All The President's Men with their Sixth graders, they toured the Los Angeles Times' printing facility and learned how the paper arrives on our doorsteps each morning. Every week, Kids Off The Couch introduces families to a new film and adventure, but also provides plenty of details for parents to go beyond the basics. For example, the moms suggest conversation starters about each film: “Freaky Friday” is a perfect conduit for discussing body image with pre-teen girls and “Goal: The Dream Begins” opened the floodgates to a conversation with young boys about the ambition and opportunities available to immigrants in Los Angeles and the U.S. In addition, Kids Off The Couch offers up book lists that relate to each film contributed weekly by “The Center For Excellence in Education", Lucy Rafael.  If the adventure involves watching E.T. and visiting the planetarium, parents will find a well-edited selection of books on space - appropriate for kids in pre-school, elementary school and middle schoolers. While it may sound unusual to advocate getting on the couch to get kids to unplug, Sarah and Diane insist that film opens the door to culture and family discussions. After a long week, it's cozy to flop on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and watch a film that makes everyone happy. From husbands to grandparents, family film night has become a cherished part of these moms' family life. As the two moms are fond of saying, "sometimes you've got ON the couch with your kids - to get OFF the couch!" Since launching the site, they have written about nearly 100 film and adventure pairings they've road-tested with their families. Past adventures are listed in the Archives section of the site, and if parents sign-up, they'll receive a free, e-mail every week with a fresh idea to get kids off the couch and into their world.
