On Saturday, June 2 at 10:00 am, Friends Academy’s Encompass Community and the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center join together to celebrate area veterans by hosting a contemplative walk and guided meditation in the forest on The Friend’s Academy campus. The walk will follow the free Friday night screening of “Almost Sunrise,” a documentary film that explores two Iraq veteran’s recovery from the mental trauma of war by embarking on a cross-country walk. The walk and meditation will be led by the documentary film’s subject, veteran Tom Voss, and Michael Collins, the documentary director. Their aim is to share the restorative and soul-nourishing benefits of nature. This event is free and open to the public, and walkers will meet in the parking lot. RSVP by visiting www.zeiterion.org/almost-sunrise or by calling The Zeiterion’s box office at 508-994-2900.

The Zeiterion and Friends Academy seek to line the trail the meditative walk will follow with simple letters or pictures of thanks to veterans for their service. Participants can drop letters off or send them to Friends Academy 1088 Tucker Road North Dartmouth, MA 02747.
