Nature Connection Family Workshop
Saturday, June 22, 2024 | 10:00 - 11:30 AM
Facilitated by Leah Kelley, LMSW & Rebekah Baldwin, MA
Cost is $75 per family. All ages welcome.
Looking for opportunities to bond as a family, get outside and live more in tune with the seasons? Join us on Saturday, March 23rd, to welcome the start of spring at our nature connection workshop!
Intentional outdoor time has been associated with increases in concentration, self-concept and student test scores, and decreases in symptoms of ADHD, aggressive behaviors and stress. Research has also found that feeling connected to the natural environment is strongly correlated with positive mood, autonomy, personal growth, purpose in life and self-acceptance.
Gaia Nature Connection workshops create a space for families to mindfully connect with each other and with the natural world around them. Participants will be invited to engage all of their senses through nature-based games and therapeutic activities, designed to foster connection from a place of curiosity, exploration and play. Families will leave our workshops with a new appreciation for spending time together outside!
