LCC Presents, Sokojikara

I thought I'd give you a 'heads up' on a special one-day event being sponsored by Lansing Community College: Sokojikara!

If you're wondering what the word means, well, Sokojikara symbolizes the power within oneself. The harnessing of this power helps to overcome challenges and provides courage to succeed against all odds as one transitions through the various stages of life. Sokojikara can only be achieved through taking care of all aspects of oneself...mind, body, and spirit!

The event will be held at Lansing Community College's University Center, Saturday, April 21, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
