January Programs

January Programs at Shepherd’s Corner Ecology Center

Being Resolute: January Labyrinth Walk

Friday, January 7th
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Suggested Donation: $5

This walk will be held at the labyrinth between our barn and garden.

Facilitated by John Seryak, Labyrinth Caretaker
Programs have a minimum of 5 participants.
It is a common practice for many of us to make resolutions as we begin a new year, a new start. Realistically, many of our resolutions are short lived without the results we were imagining. This evening as we journey, by foot, on this metaphorical path of our lives, let us consider the parts of our lives where we are steadfastly resolute: purposeful, determined, and unwavering. In these we can find joy and satisfaction.
Please wear comfortable shoes. Everyone is welcome! No previous meditation experience or experience walking labyrinths is required.
