Walking Your Path
Sunday, April 20th, 2008
8am - 5pm
Rosemary Beach, Florida

Along the path of finding fulfillment within our life, all of us face many obstacles. Walking Your Path is a day-long gathering designed to uncover the causes of these obstacles so your path can be more easily followed. One Hand Clapping with sponsorship from Bud and Alley’s Restaurant, SoWal.com, Summer Kitchen Cafe and DeGregorio Design has assembled a remarkable lineup of educators to offer this guidance, including nationally renowned speaker Don Daniels. The gathering will be held at the picturesque town of Rosemary Beach in Walton County, Florida, on Sunday, April 20th, 2008, from 8am-5pm. You will be led through the gathering in a casual, light hearted-environment, so do not let a lack of experience with Yoga philosophy or meditation stop you from attending.
The day will provide a very practical understanding of:

• The main obstacles along your path
• How to lessen the impact of these obstacles 
• The role your actions, mind and goals play in walking your path

The gathering will be led by nationally recognized speaker Don Daniels and Phillip Ellis, owner of One Hand Clapping. An organic, vegetarian breakfast and lunch will be provided by Summer Kitchen Cafe. Enjoy the soothing benefits of a labyrinth etched in the sand with local enthusiast, Anita Howard. Accomplished yoga instructor, Carolyn Reynolds, will awaken your energy through a gentle Hatha Yoga session. This incredible day will then come to a close as we enjoy one of the area’s famous sunsets.
The purpose of One Hand Clapping is to connect those who seek a clearer idea of their inner self with sincere educators who offer this guidance. The gatherings are intended to unite this growing community in the Panhandle by furnishing a forum for educators to reach a larger audience. More importantly, these gatherings allow you an opportunity to meet a variety of teachers within this community and to decide which one is most suitable for your journey of personal growth.

She considers both Sarah and Anne dear friends, insightful teachers and true sources of inspiration.

  Labyrinth Walk
  Labyrinths have been around for over 4000 years and are found throughout the world. Like Stonehenge and the pyramids, they are fascinating geometric forms that define a special space. They are often walked for the purpose of reflection, meditation and relaxation. Labyrinths are found in many sizes and shapes and are often made out of natural materials. Ours will be etched in the sand next to the sea. It has only one path that leads to the center and out again, so unlike a maze, there are no tricks to it and no dead ends. Participants are encouraged to slowly stroll the labyrinth while soaking in the serenity of their surroundings.

Thanks to our sponsors!
