"Nourished by Nature" Family Field Trip
July 25 ~ eucalyptus grove, Montana de Oro
Join me for our family-oriented nature-based mindfulness "field trip" to the eucalyptus grove in the Hazard Reef area of Montana de Oro State Park! We'll be exploring, creating, and engaging in fun woodsy- related activities that may involve storytelling, making friends with trees, and being creative. We will also slow things down a bit to learn how to pause and be more aware of the things we may miss in our busy and fast-paced lives. Explore, practice, and grow the essential life skills of mindfullness together by connecting to nature! It's a win-win! Exact location and additional details of what to bring will be shared closer to our event.

Join me for another 1-hour "Nourished by Nature family field trip" ("meet-up") in our summer series specifically geared for families to share a nature-based mindfulness experience together. Let Nature be your teacher. I would be honored to be your family's guide.
These family events will be geared towards elementary school ages but siblings -younger and older- will also be able to participate. A grown-up is required to stay with their child/children throughout the event.
These events are especially valuable to those who have children who may be described as highly sensitive, empaths, anxious, "shy" and may appreciate a more intimate and quieter group experience than most child- or family-oriented groups.
Experience the magic of mindfulness & nature! By deepening your connection with nature, you and your family are enhancing your personal well-being and psychological resilience, like tiny seeds planted in the soil awaiting the right conditions to emerge. Each family event will focus on exploring and connecting to nature, to oneself, and to one another in meaningful and thoughtful ways through the "Pathways to Nature Connectedness for Well-being." The pathways include engaging the senses and emotions, exploring beauty and meaning, and reflecting on compassion. Just as seeds are planted in the soil around us, the seeds of wisdom, understanding, and compassion are planted in our minds and hearts one idea at a time. And it is my hope that your children will fall in love with nature and ultimately answer the call to take responsibility as stewards and caretakers for protecting and caring for their own personal well-being, for one another, and for our planet, Mother Earth.
