Most of us know that connecting to the natural world has the power to heal our mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes, it's hard to get out of the city and into the woods to engage in this type of healing connection. This workshop will teach you skills to deepen your connection with the natural world, even when you're in the confines of the city!

We'll meet at The Chattery (231 Broad Street) and make our way to the waterfront.

This journey invites you to explore and deepen your connection with the Earth, guiding you toward a more meaningful relationship with your more-than-human kin. As you walk alongside a trained therapist, you’ll engage with evidence-based ecotherapy practices that foster healing, balance, and wellness, offering valuable tools to enrich your daily life.
