Nature Therapy with NorthSouthEast Nature & Forest Therapy

December 3 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Rewylding Your Shady Garden (1280 x 906 px) - 2

Slow, sensory experiences in the Sugar Creek garden, to explore rest and hibernation.

This month’s nature therapy gathering brings the community together for a mid-day slow down, exploring the concepts of rest and hibernation as we edge towards Winter. We will bring our attention to the earth around us at Sugar Creek – the cooling water, the crows, the bare branches of our trees, the waning moon – and connect with them in camaraderie and support.

December 3 at Sugar Creek
12-1:30 pm

What to expect:

  • Grounding practice
  • Outdoor sensory invitations
  • A nature-based ritual
    Community under the moon

What to bring (optional):

  • Journal and something to write / draw with
  • Water bottle

This practice is suitable for adults of all ages and physical abilities. 

  • $20 – Members
  • $25 – Non-members

Register here.
