Take a Serenity Walk with the Library

April 8, 2021

Looking to introduce more mindfulness and overall peace into your life? Join Charlotte Mecklenburg Library for a Serenity Walk at Matthews Library. Learn more information below:

Downtown Matthews
The Matthews Library offers a unique experience to participate in a mindful stroll around a ½ mile loop in the downtown area. The Serenity Walk incorporates activities along the way that allows you to replace the noise as you breath in a more peaceful state of mind.

Where do I start?
To begin the walk, stop by the Matthews Library and pick up a map that provides the directions and activities to assist you on your journey. The guide provides you with specific information, points of reference and instructions to enhance your experience. You will also find a QR code that will enable you to access additional resources through the Library to further assist you on your quest to natural serenity.

What should I bring?
The Serenity Walk is a personal experience. Many Library staff have enjoyed keeping a journal to jot down reflections while taking the walk and some enjoy the company of their beloved animal companions. Others have remarked on the sensory nature of the walk and have appreciated the opportunity to indulge in the fragrant offerings of coffee, bakery goods, and other treats along the way.

Are you ready to begin your journey to serenity and mindfulness? Contact the Matthews Library at 704-416-5000 or find us on the Library's Branches page.
