September often comes with a busier pace. We get swept away and disconnected if we don’t hit the pause button and tune into the present moment. Come join a mindful community. Slow down and tune into the wisdom of the natural world along Bronxville Lake. Cindy Olsen of Cindy By Nature, LLC., will guide you through a program designed to help you relax and find a deeper connection with the natural world. She will offer a gentle stretch sequence, introduce the history of the land and then lead a walking meditation through this natural gem we have set aside to enjoy. After enjoying some mindful invitations, we will gather to enjoy healing tea. Get outside and go within.

Day of the Week: Tu
Number of Sessions: 1
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Fee: $40.00
Instructor: Untermyer Gardens Conservancy
This tour focuses on the life, ambitions, and career of Samuel Untermyer, how he came to build this garden, and all the changes the property endured after his death. Untermyer was a founding partner in the law firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marshall, and was the first lawyer in America to earn a one million dollar fee on a single case. He was also an astute investor and became extremely wealthy. He was passionately interested in and expertly knowledgeable about horticulture, and the level of horticulture at the Untermyer Gardens was nationally famous. His ambition for the garden was that it be no less than the "finest garden in the world." Join us and decide for yourself if this is indeed one of the finest gardens in the world while you listen to a very entertaining story.
