September 22, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "The Enlightening Power of Nature"
Jeff Goin of the Lotus Center said, "How fortunate we are to have the Gila Wilderness as our backyard!
"Most of us are familiar with the therapeutic effects of spending time in the natural world of southwest New Mexico. Bathing our five senses in old-growth forests, quiet, solitude, and sharing space with flora and fauna gives rise to a profound sense of peace, tranquility, and healing. It seems -- in a visceral way -- that a cause-and-effect event is occurring: that exposing ourselves to the trees, rivers, and critters is making us feel peaceful.
