Meditation with Reiki

Walk-ins welcome! If possible, please bring a mat or blanket to sit on to be comfortable.

Reiki is energy therapy, the goal of which is to promote deep relaxation, mental and emotional clarity, and increased well-being.

On Freedom Road : Bicycle Explorations and Reckonings on the Underground Railroad

 

"A thoughtful and illuminating bicycle journey along the Underground Railroad by a climate scientist seeking to engage with American history. The traces of the Underground Railroad hide in plain sight: a great church in Philadelphia; a humble old house backing up to the New Jersey Turnpike; an industrial outbuilding in Ohio. Over the course of four years, David Goodrich rode his bicycle 3,000 miles east of the Mississippi to travel the routes of the Underground Railroad and delve into the history and stories in the places where they happened."--Provided by publisher.
