Reflections on Aspects of Nature: This session, facilitated by Sister Bernice Steele, will focus on the four elements of the universe: air, water, fire and earth. Hopefully, after sitting quietly with texts and photographs, viewing some short videos and learning from each other, you will never think of these elements in the same way, giving you a deeper appreciation for Earth, our common home. This session, at The Living Well, 96 Patterson, Hillsborough Park (Charlottetown) is on April 17th, 1:30-3:30. A break with a snack is provided. To register email rmd17csm@gmail.com. We are SCENT FREE. There is no charge for this session, however, you are welcome to bring a food item for our monthly in-house Food Bank.
