Nature Rx | Nature & Me: A Mindful Journey to Reconnect with Nature

April 26 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

A photo of two people sitting on a park bench in front of an octagon-shaped park shelter. Words on the photo read: Nature Rx, Nature and Me, A Mindful Journey to Reconnect with Nature,, April 26, 9:30 to 11:30 am, Octagon Shelter.

We often see humanity and nature as separate—us here, nature out there. But what if we are not separate at all? What if the very rhythms of nature—the seasons, the growth, the stillness, the renewal—are reflected within us?

Through the practice of the “Just Like Me” meditation, we will bridge the perceived gap between ourselves and other humans, recognizing our shared experiences, hopes, and struggles. Then, we’ll extend this awareness beyond human connection, applying it to the natural world. We’ll shift from seeing nature as something outside of us to recognizing that we are part of it and it is a part of us!

Our journey will culminate in the creation of a Nature Manifesto, a collective statement of connection that captures our deepened awareness and commitment to honoring our interwoven existence with the natural world.

Come ready to walk, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the earth that holds us all.
