    Light Bending at Au Sable Point

    Isn’t there something so captivating about a lighthouse? Today’s practice is inspired by the lighthouse at Au Sable Point, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. More so it focuses on the powerful lens and the light itself that protected ships on Lake Superior. This is a great practice for folks who are needing a check-in, a pause, some tenderness and care. Light is one of natures most healing elements. Take some time to harness this light to heal yourself and the world around you 🌟 Like all National Park sites, Pictured Rocks is on stolen land.
