Stetson Walk with Purpose

Meet any or every Tuesday or Thursday 7:30-8:30 AM for a purposeful walk from the end of Stetson Shrine Lane Norwell to the Stetson Meadows, around the River Loop trail, and back. About 2 miles, usually 45-55 minutes.

We'll post a recommended topic here for each day. Walk with purpose. Listen to understand. Speak to be heard. Add your perspective to this thoughtful group.
