FALL FRENZY! CALLS TO ACTION THIS SEASON PATHWAYS FALL NATURAL LIVING EXPO • RETREATS • VOTE! A Message From Your Pathways Team
We are feeling energized and ready to take on all the activities awaiting us this fall and want you to feel the same way, too. First, look forward to attending 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 — join us on Sunday, October 6! Expect great exhibitors and illuminating workshops from the DMV’s premier Mind-Body-Spirit-Eco event. Online advance ticket purchasing through Eventbrite will begin in early September. Come support local businesses, and Pathways, to keep resources in our local communities. Prelimary program startes on page 40. We are also counting down to Election Day, Tuesday, November 5, and urge you to get involved in these weeks leading up to what could be a historic election. Safeguarding our democracy demands all-inclusive action, and we’re here for it with resources and encouragement throughout this issue. Plus, we’ve got you covered on seasonal self care and retreats for health and wellness, support for learning, and much more. Complacency and ignorance are the enemies. Understanding we are all in this together is key. We won’t go back, and we can’t leave anyone behind. Who’s with us?!
