Penn State Berks will celebrate the beginning of spring with the fourth annual Spring Equinox Festival, 7-9 p.m. on Friday, March 20, at the campus Labyrinth Garden, located on the Janssen Conference Center Complex just before the intersection of Broadcasting and Tulpehocken Roads in Spring Township. This event is free and open to the public. To add to the festivities, attendees are encouraged to wear spring-themed attire or accessories.
An equinox program will be held 7:30-8 p.m. and will include a short astronomy lesson, a discussion of spring traditions, greenman folklore, music and poetry readings. Some of the other highlights of the evening will include a drumming circle from Earth Rhythms, a yoga and meditation circle, inspirational oracle readings, a moving documentary on lives transformed by walking a labyrinth, bulb plantings and craft projects. In addition, the labyrinth will be illuminated with votive candles and luminaries, creating a magical setting for continuous labyrinth walking throughout the evening.
