Sunset Wellness Stroll & Mindfulness Meditation with Rev Shelley Dungan

March 16 & 30 6-7:15 PM(this event is free although registration is needed and will run rain or shine) Have you noticed how good you feel when you go for a walk outside? It has been proven that experiences in nature release your body’s ‘feel good’ chemicals and improve your overall health & wellness.  Join Interfaith Reverend and Mindfulness teacher, Rev Shelley Dungan from The Sacred Center, for a free mindfulness walk at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge. Spend time opening your senses, appreciating the gift of nature, grounding yourself in gratitude and learning mindfulness practices that you can apply to your daily life. The first part of our time will be spent on the trail and the second part of our time in the Sachuest Point classroom exploring some practical mindfulness tools to enhance our wellbeing. Limit 30 participants.
