John Walczak will introduce to you a “magnificent” animal every week and host a Q&A session. On Tuesdays, zoo staff members will take over for a class on animals and the natural world.

TUESDAY, April 7

Roots101 Poetry Slam Facebook Live Free  |  6:45-9 p.m. Roots101 African American Museum is a Louisville gem, telling the African American experience, including history, culture and art, through exhibits, programs and activities. One program is its monthly poetry slam, the second Tuesday of every month. This month, as a result of the coronavirus epidemic, it’s going virtual. Deepsea Rice hosts — and expect a special intermission performance by the Sounds of the Week artist. Poems must be an original of the performer and no longer than three minutes. Five judges will be watching and scoring performances online, with $60 going to the winner, $30 to second place and $10 for third. But, organizers would like to remind everyone, “the point is not the points, the point is the poetry!” No props, costumes or musical instruments are allowed, and it’s $7 to participate.

Give a Back Massage Like a Pro! Zoom and Facebook Live Free  |  7-8 p.m. Spas are closed but stress is at an all time high. How to get that massage that you desperately need? Denise Willinger of Serenity Spa will share her knowledge in this virtual lesson on how to give a professional-level neck and back rub to whoever you’re quarantining with.

Online April Full Moon Ceremony Zoom $30  |  8:30-10:30 p.m. The Inner Warrior is taking its regular full moon ceremony virtual. The event includes guided yoga and meditation and a discussion. “Taking this ceremony online means that we can join together as a global community and support each other during this strange time,” say organizers. “So this full moon is going to be a pretty special one and we really hope that you can be a part of it!” You can participate live or wait for a recording of the ceremony.

WEDNESDAY, April 8

Drive-Thru Easter Wooded View Golf Course, Clarksville Free  |  5-7 p.m. Easter, and in particular Easter egg hunts, are not canceled —fully, anyway. The Clarksville Parks Department is hosting a drive-through Easter egg giveaway (for Indiana residents only) where volunteers will scoop candy filled eggs into your child’s Easter basket. The eggs were filled and delivered before the coronavirus pandemic began. Even the Easter Bunny will be there — instead of forcing your frightened children to sit on his lap, he’ll wave your car through the line.
