From our backyard garden to the city park to the deep woods, nature is around us in many forms at all times. Through a short guided meditation, thoughtful prompts and conversation, together we will mindfully explore our relationship to the different facets of nature in this virtual workshop.

Materials needed: materials to write and/or draw with, paper, and a quiet place to sit for an hour during the workshop.

Target audience: 14 & up
