Urban Nature Therapy Mini Retreat

Slow down, unplug, and lean into the sensation of aliveness as we explore what it means to coexist during a time of increased levels of separation. How do we find belonging and connection and tend to the stressful living conditions of modern industrialized civilization? Join me, in bringing our awareness to our interconnectedness and remembering that we ARE nature.
