Walking with Francis: A Guided Journey Through the SFCR Grounds

  • St. Francis Center for Renewal 395 Bridle Path Road Bethlehem, PA, 18017 United States (map)

Sharon Lohse

A nurse for 50 years, Sharon Lohse is now a certified forest therapy guide and practicing horticultural therapist leading forest therapy walks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She loves to open the door to the forest “for-rest.” Sharon connects participants to the land and an awareness of the beings around them. Her walks incorporate the “sit spot,” where a participant may sit quietly for 10 to 15 minutes near a tree, flower or stream and welcome a sense of wonder. All ages and degrees of ability are welcome.

Come follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis with a guided meditative walk through the grounds of our St. Francis Center for Renewal in Bethlehem, Pa. Escape the daily hassle, turn off your cell phone, take in the beautiful sights, and breathe in the fresh air of our woods. Enjoy some light refreshments and conversation afterwards. A great way to renew your body, mind and soul. Please wear comfortable clothing, a hat and sneakers.
