Grow with Gratitude
Benefit Event for Chester Eastside Garden
May 1, 2022

An Afternoon of Wellness
Yoga, Journaling, and Meditative Drawing

Thank you to all who participated in our first retreat offering, Grow with Gratitude, a benefit event for Chester Eastside Garden. The response to our sold-out retreat  was phenomenal: together we
raised $1,087 for the Chester Eastside Garden education program, helping to further the love and knowledge of gardening by children in Chester.  Scroll below to see photos of the day.

Chester Eastside Garden

Chester Eastside Garden brings the knowledge and love of gardening to children in Chester.  

Grow with Gratitude:   After a warm welcome by Trinity's Rector, Fr. Ted, our wellness afternoon started off with a gentle yoga practice, led by Mary Thompson in the Trinity Sanctuary.  Annie Pittinger then lovingly guided us in a reflective journaling practice.  After intermission with refreshments, graciously hosted by Cathy Finley, we were then led by Missy Keller in a fun mandala-creating session, using Zentangle, a meditative drawing technique.  We then re-gathered in the Sanctuary to  end our time together with a reflective yoga practice. ​ Special thanks to our four hosts - Mary, Annie, Cathy and Missy - and all who participated in our first wellness offering.
