March 9 Drop-In
This month's drop-in will be in the form of a short

is like,
come a try a shortened version in our two-hour

walking meditation with only a minimal amount of
instruction.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday,
March 9, from 7-9 P.M. at the Wright Tavern

Greetings!
As I write this month's newsletter, the wind still
blows with winter's bite, yet the crocuses are
beginning to show life through the remnants of
snow -- a reminder that spring is around the corner!
Welcome to March, a month of contradictions,
positives and negatives, warm sunshine and bitter
cold...a month that mirrors life!
Spring brings us opportunities to grow. I have
highlighted some classes,
workshops, and seminars that I know of in this
newsletter
and will let you know of others in future newsletters.
I would also love to hear of any speakers,
workshops, or activities that you have found
particularly inspiring and renewing.
With renewal,
Pam
