Join us for an El-Camino talk and walk along the waterfront.
Join us on an early morning walk with our guide Liz Khaleghipour. Liz is a veteran traveler of various El Camino trails and will recount her experiences and the personal growth these journey's brought.
We will meet at Heritage Park, under the dragon sculpture just after sunrise to "Calm our Minds" in honour of our Simcoe Reads selection "How to Calm Your Mind: Finding Presence and Productivity in Anxious Times" by Chris Bailey.
Together we will walk the lakeshore path as the sun rises over the water. Our journey will take us to the Spirit Catcher whereupon we will retrace our steps feeling calm, present and ready to conquer the day. Along the way, we will take moments to share highlights from both Liz's journey and our Simcoe Reads book.
Buen Camino!

It explains how our digital world drains us, and what we can do to abate the hidden sources of stress that burden our days. By embracing the analog world and “stimulation fasts,” using the science of “savoring” to become more focused and present and relaxing without guilt, investing in calm might be the best productivity strategy around.
