Earth Play: The Delights of Connecting to Nature
Step into the wonders of the woodlands in spring and explore the joy of connecting with the natural world. In this experiential gathering, you’ll likely experience the calm, beauty, and wonder that arise when we slow down and engage with nature in an intentional way.
Through walking, guided meditation, and a short story, we’ll explore how our sense of belonging and well-being grows when we connect with the Earth—and how this connection can ripple outward to support the planet.
This experience is designed to nurture curiosity, calm, and a deeper appreciation for the interconnection of all life.
