Earth Day labyrinth walk/ meditation and more at Balsam Moon

   Earth Day 2022 is soon upon us Friday, April 22, and will offer many opportunities to engage in activities that nurture and honor the Earth, such as tree planting, road-side clean up, educational options and celebrations.

   Balsam Moon Preserve, west of Pine River, invites you to come walk the labyrinth in the woods for a group meditation, 10 a.m. – 11 a.m., or individually walk, between 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., with a focus of healing, protection and gratitude for the Earth. It is important to take time to slow down and be grateful and to offer intentions and actions of protection and healing, that we as humans can do to aid the Earth.

   Additional classes are also offered in the coming months, including Gardening 101 on May 20, 9 a.m.-noon; Birding and Nature Walk on May 22 and again June 5 from 7-9 a.m.; How to Create a Sustainable Body as you Age on June 10, 3-4:30 p.m.; and the monthly Pizza Nights begin June 10, 5-7 p.m. (2nd Fridays).
