About the event
*This event is donation-based*
Slowing down and immersing ourselves in nature reminds us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. In nature, we find a space to breathe, to reflect, and to reconnect with our true selves. This connection to the natural world is not just beneficial for our mental and emotional well-being; it also inspires us to live more sustainably and mindfully, in sync with the environment.
Embrace your role in our ecosystem and take a step toward healing our planet. Together, we can make a difference. Join us in celebrating the timeless wisdom of nature, and discover the peace and clarity that come from moving in sync with its cycles.
What to Expect:
- Simple breathing techniques for balance and harmony
- Mindful movement to self-soothe and express
- Expanded sensory awareness
- Grounding in nature
- Visualization and the power of symbols
- Community connection
