A Time for Peace: View photographer Carol Stauffer’s “Seasons of Life” – an exhibit of nature-centered images infused with spiritual messages – during the month of March at the Barnegat branch of the Ocean County Library System. Stauffer views nature as “a living canvas of beauty, harmony and wisdom.” She grew up in rural Pennsylvania, exploring with her Kodak Brownie camera. Her later studies in education and dance and massage therapies brought the mind-body-spirit connection more sharply into focus for her. “Seasons of Life” is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the library at 609-698-3331 or visit theoceancountylibrary.org/events.

FULL OUT: For Carol Stauffer, summer means warmth and freedom, unencumbered play and exploration – a time of soaring spirits, a time for people to feel fully in their bodies and to get active outdoors. (Photo by Carol Stauffer)
