SAVE THE DATE! PATHWAYS FALL NATURAL LIVING EXPO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2024, COLLEGE PARK, MD An Invitation From Your Pathways Team
We are looking forward to hosting the Pathways Natural Living Expo at a brand new location this fall — the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center, at the University of Maryland in College Park — and we hope you’ll join us! You can still expect great exhibitors and illuminating workshops from the DMV’s premier Mind-Body-Spirit-Eco event. We are still accepting vendor applications, but it will sell out, so visit our website for more information and apply now. Online advance ticket purchasing through Eventbrite will begin in late summer. Save the date and come support local businesses, and Pathways, to keep resources in our local communities. Until then, the summer season is upon us, and we feel the pull of desire for downtime and healing, as well as the push for education and engagement to start preparing for what’s sure to be a frenetic fall. No matter which direction you choose, make room for a little Pathways reading, self care and family time. Opportunities abound for both unplugging and connection, so embrace them all with an open mind, willing body, and compassionate spirit.
