We invite you for an afternoon of stillness, meditation, mindfulness, and listening to the inner teacher in a beautiful natural setting at The Clearing. Visit our bucolic 75-acre retreat, walk the beautiful trials, enjoy our hospitality, and experience the simple joy of a quiet day in the woods. Bring along your journal or favorite art form. The afternoon will provide guided time to learn about Quaker practice of stillness and listening, solo time for walking, exploring, journaling, or simply sitting quietly, and a closing gathering and sharing time. Registration is requested, but free, at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-house-at-the-clearing-tickets-57333386703.
