It is a new year to engage with nature for greater wellbeing. Community members are invited to meet at the Main Library's Sudbury Road entrance and head to Emerson Field, where we will walk to the trees and try simple mindful practices that settle the nervous system. On the way back we will share inspiring book titles and return to the Main Library refreshed and ready for a new story. Led by our mindful wellness educator, Lara Wilson. Sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library. [Register for Walk for Wellbeing]
