Morning at the Museum: Coffee, Tea & Yoga Event at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Jan 10, 20191 min read

Sip, stretch, and wake up on the wild side.

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is hosting its first ever “Morning at the Museum” event 9 a.m. – noon on Saturday, January 26.

The animals are welcoming you to their stomping grounds for tastings and presentations from local coffee roasters and tea houses, early morning snacks, easy going tunes from the Jacob Acosta Band, and yoga with Empower Tucson Yoga.

Did you know birds and coffee have certain things in common? Sonya Norman from Desert Museum Public Programs can tell you all about it.

A combination of tastings and fun activities like this should get everyone’s day started on the right foot — or paw.

Tickets are $32 for the Advance General Admission, $15 for Museum Members, $8.95 for kids 3-12 years old, and anyone younger than that is free.

Your experience includes admission to the museum, samples from all vendors, a 12-ounce cup of coffee and pastry, a commemorative coffee mug, all activities, yoga classes, and 15% off lunch at the Ocotillo Café.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
