Today, our group went to Wissinoming Park in Philadelphia to help them clean up to make their park a welcoming environment. Our group took on three different tasks: students weeded and mulched, students collected trash, and students prepared a garden bed for spring planting. Everyone worked hard and the park looked much better afterwards.
This afternoon we went to the the Mantra Lounge in Philadelphia to learn about their faith. Our guide during this journey was Jack, and he led us in thoughtful conversation questioning the connection between our mind, soul, and body. We also learned a mantra used to calm the mind. We all enjoyed this experience and enjoyed learning about mindfulness.
