All invited to Memorial Planting event- this Sat. April 29


Saturday, April 29th


This Sat. April 29, remember someone who has died by planting a flower in their memory. All students and employees of Lewis & Clark are welcome to participate. Spiritual Life, with assistance from the Garden Club, has cleared a space under the persimmon tree in the Community Garden for honoring loved ones at this memorial event. The Community Garden is near Juniper Residence Hall.


This will be an “open house” time for people to come between 2 and 3:30pm to plant. Come at any time in that window. Tools and flowers will be available.


Kindly RSVP on the Spiritual Life events webpage or email hmhiman@lclark.edu before Thursday, April 27th at 5pm so we have enough flowers on hand, though there will be extras. 


Hilary Martin Himan, Director of Spiritual Life and chaplain to all (spiritual, secular, and religious,) will be on hand to provide assistance with the plants and will be available for spiritual support if requested. 


This event will occur rain or shine.

Outdoor Labyrinth Walk- this Thursday


Thursday, April 27th

@3:30-5:00pm

Location: Outside main entrance of Copeland


Come walk the labyrinth! Try out this ancient meditative walking practice used in multiple cultures on Thursday, April 27 between 3:30-5pm.


The canvas labyrinth will be located outside the main entrance to Copeland. This is a joint activity of the Holistic Living Learning Community and Spiritual Life.


Please remove shoes or wear “booties” over your shoes to keep the labyrinth in clean condition.


Many find the walking of the labyrinth, which is *not* a maze intended to confuse and confound, to be a relaxing and often insight producing meditative practice. One enters and leaves the labyrinth in the same spot, journeying to eventually arrive at the center.
