Wisdom from the Wild: Exploring Relationships

"Wisdom from the Wild" is a monthly series that will lead you on wonder-filled journey to recovering your sense of belonging and finding your truest self, rooted in the rhythms and raptures of nature. Through a variety of mindful observations and reflections synchronized with the seasons, we will examine the ecology of natural ecosystems, explore our own ecological body, and practice integrating nature’s wisdom into our daily life. This program is for teens and adults.

July's Theme: Exploring Relationships
Everything in nature is interconnected and these ecological relationships are numerous and necessary in supporting the health of our planet. This month, we explore the following question: As an integral part of nature, how do we apply the wisdom we receive when observing the interconnected relationships in the natural world to our human condition and our unique relationships, both with nature and other humans?

What to expect: 
This program involves standing and walking in a mostly open meadow with some forest on partially flat ground with a moderate incline. Bring sun protection, water, and wear closed-toe shoes. Activities include discussion, listening and watching the environment, and mindful observation.

About the facilitator:
Sarah Croscutt is a writer and owner/facilitator of From the Outside, a series of plant and nature-based activities designed to cultivate connection and well-being.
