South Bend Elkhart Bird Alliance
12:00 | Meditative Bird Walk
Join Catherine and Melissa from the South Bend Elkhart Bird Alliance to take an easy, slow stroll around Potawatomi Park with one simple goal, be with the birds. With binoculars and field guides, we will use our sense of sight and hearing to observe, enjoy, and ponder our feathered friends. We will keep a close look out for the red-headed woodpecker, a once common, but now rare woodpecker species that frequents Potawatomi Park. No experience needed.
World Labyrinth Day
1:00 | Walk as One at 1
WLD is an annual international event celebrated on the first Saturday in May, when thousands of people around the globe participate in “Walk as One at 1”, a moving meditation for world peace and a celebration of the labyrinth experience. At 1 pm local time, we will join many around the world to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next. As part of this year’s “Walk as One at 1” experience, you will be accompanied by the sound frequencies of four area sound healing practitioners playing crystal and Tibetan bowls, gongs, bells, as well as other select instruments to add to this age-old sacred walk. Take time as you walk to absorb their sounds.
Engage your senses, release what no longer serves you, and take a peaceful, silent walk as we “Walk as One at 1” with the world.
