Come join me to celebrate the Winter Solstice with a slow and relaxing saunter in Beaman Park! Take a break from the busy holiday season to experience the quiet beauty of the forest in winter. Explore open-ended invitations that stimulate curiosity and engage the senses, then make a simple journal to enjoy — or give as a special gift. We’ll meet a little before 1pm on Wednesday, December 21, and finish around 2:30.
