Since then\, she has had many clients report feeling a deeper sense of connection to self\, feeling more relaxed\, better sleep and overall well-being. Some benefits of sound healing include improved mental focus\, reduced stress and anxiety\, and improved mood.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Mantis Meadow Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled due to mud and rain conditions. Please join us at our next Mantis Meadow Scavenger Hunt on Saturday\, March 7 at Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary. \nNot all mantises are welcome… \nMany people are surprised to learn that the praying mantises they spot in their gardens might not be native—and that some invasive species can pose serious threats to local wildlife\, even preying on hummingbirds. \nJoin us for a fun\, hands-on scavenger hunt in the meadow to search for and remove invasive mantis egg cases (ootheca)\, which are distinct from those of native mantises. Along the way\, you’ll learn how to tell the difference between species and help protect the balance of our local ecosystems. \nAll collected egg cases will be donated to our partners at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research\, where they’ll help feed recovering baby birds this spring and summer—turning an invasive problem into a nurturing solution. \nHelp native wildlife and support bird rehab with your efforts. \n
