While following the same route each week, we will practice mindfulness by dedicating our attention to the present moment and fully observing the amazing transformations that take place during spring.

Dates/time: Six consecutive Fridays April 7 through May 12; noon – 1pm; attendance at each walk encouraged, but not required.
Cost: Free; no registration required. 
Instructor: Cornell Botanic Garden staff 
Location: Meet in front of the Nevin Welcome Center
