On Saturday, March 24th from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., we invite you to come experience some of the bodyworks modalities and programs that Dominican Center at Marywood (DCM) has to offer in the peaceful, serene atmosphere that is DCM. Events that will be offered this year - the fifth annual Sage-ing Fair - are:

- Paraffin Hand Treatment - smooth the winter cares away;
- Mini-massage (three practitioners onsite) - opportunities to experience some of the modalities that our practitioners offer here at DCM;
- Food Presentation - raw food demonstration by Cathy Ostema (not sushi);
- Alexander Technique - teaches the ability to improve physical postural habits, particularly those that have become ingrained or are conditioned responses. The purpose is to improve performance, self observation and impulse control and relieve chronic stiffness, tension and stress.
- Art - presented by Zulema Moret of GVSU - Zulema Moret will guide you in creative, prayerful experiences;
- Labyrinth - a meditative walk along the winding path of the labyrinth, leading you inward to your center and back out again with renewed intention for daily living;
- Taize - Sister Joan Thomas will invite you to experience the phenomenal rhythms of music, life, and the Word;
- Lexio Devina - Traditionally, Lectio Divina has 4 separate steps: read, meditate, pray and contemplate. First a passage of Scripture is read, then its meaning is reflected upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God.
- Prayer Movement - praising God with our bodies.
- The Awakening Universe - a brief DVD followed by discussions about our potential to transform our sense of separation, isoloation and alienation into one of connection , commonality and communion.
