One Path, Many Experiences: A Labyrinth Workshop

Sunday, March 26, 2023: 12:30 PM -3:00 PM

First Universalist Society in Franklin

262 Chestnut Street, Franklin, MA 02038

Walking a labyrinth quiets the mind and reduces stress. Some labyrinths are walked with your feet while others are “walked” with your finger. Please join us for a labyrinth workshop where we’ll hear a brief history of the labyrinth, learn the difference between a labyrinth and a maze, experience the labyrinth firsthand, and share our experiences on the labyrinth. Workshop participants can choose to either walk an indoor canvas labyrinth with their feet or “walk” a handheld labyrinth with their finger. 

Please wear or bring socks to protect the canvas labyrinth. Booties that cover footwear will be provided for those who need shoes to walk. 

This workshop is FREE of charge. Please pre-register by emailing Bobbi Tayne Gerlits: bobbigerlits@icloud.com; 508-446-5131.  Contact her with any questions.

RumorGuard: Alert - The truth about “15-minute cities”

The "15-minute city," an urban planning concept that prioritizes putting people's most common daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, has become fodder for conspiracy theorists who falsely claim governments are using it to limit where residents can go outside their homes.

Hello, The "15-minute city," an urban planning concept that prioritizes putting people's most common daily needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, has become fodder for conspiracy theorists who falsely claim governments are using it to limit where residents can go outside their homes. Take 15 seconds to SHARE THIS RUMOR GUARD ENTRY about 15-minute cities with your friends and family to let them know they can still visit, no matter how far away they live. "Fifteen-minute cities" do not limit where people can go outside their homes The "15-minute city" is an established urban planning concept that aims to put all desired amenities within 15 minutes of a person's home. The concept has been around for a number of years but drew renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people worked from home. Lately, it has become the subject of baseless conspiratorial claims that governments are using the planning concept to confine people to a 15-minute zone around their homes. Let's look at the facts.

Tewksbury Library Network presents Power Networking with Eric Ross

Ed Lawrence writes:

'I'm sharing this notice from Robert Hayes of the Tewksbury Library, because I know the presenter Eric Ross and recommend his methods. He is known as one of the region's best networkers.

I even have a copy of his DVD, "Power Networking."

If you are uncomfortable networking OR are comfortable, but need a process---you should attend this session.

How To Power Network Monday, March 27, 2 PM

Learn all the tools necessary to develop extensive networks that access the hidden job market and that will pay continuing dividends throughout one's career. Attendees will learn a comprehensive step-by-step process that starts with people they already know and generates a continuing source of new and valued professional contacts. Through networking, many of these contacts become "helpers" in the job search and often become life-long professional or personal friends. Networking in a job search is truly relationship marketing of oneself in his/her target market. The presentation will give attendees a thorough overview of the total person-to-person networking process. Led by Eric Ross, who is often acknowledged as New England's master networker. Ross landed all of the industrial senior executive positions he's held over the last 20 years through the networking approach and methods explained in his Power Networking presentation. Register directly on Zoom HERE. NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 24 hours of the program.

Have a great day and a terrific week!"
