Morning Workshops |
| Wander and Wonder Hike | Claire Wyneken |
| On this slow moving, woodland trail hike, we will saturate our senses in the wonders we will encounter. We will explore the ecosystem around Todd Hall, keeping an eye and ear attentive to its inhabitants. Provided the weather is safe, we will go rain or shine. Bring a raincoat, hiking shoes or boots (NO sandals), insect repellent and a water bottle. If you have field guides or apps you wish to use, please feel free. I will ask that you limit the use of your cell phone to using a nature app and maybe a photo or two. To participate fully, you should be able to walk easily on uneven ground, with or without assistive devices, and be comfortable walking up hills. We will be stopping frequently, but there is only ground for seating. Fee: None

| Let Us Dance: a Tap Dance Fun Workshop | Reverend Dee |
| This workshop is just for fun. You do not need any prior experience in dancing or tap dancing.
You will learn basic taps steps and in the end we will do a simple group dance.
You don’t need tap shoes. While there is a dance teacher who teaches tap in sneakers,
that requires you really lift your feet. But you can do it. However, any basically flat shoe
with a sole made of leather or polyurethane (most shoes) will work. I practice tap in my loafers or flats.
Tap dancing promotes balance and agility and is recognized as
a dance that can keep seniors active. You don’t need to be a senior to benefit from tap. We just wanna have fun. Fee: None

This workshop is ideal for those who are in a time of transition, transformation, and who are navigating changes and challenges, or who have a strong interest in how a labyrinth can be utilized for mindfulness, contemplation, and connection.
