SUMMARY:Nourishing Ourselves Through Nature: The Comfort of Trees and Experiences Shared on Our Journey (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:This program is sold out.\nBaltimore Woods Nature Center is excited to Partner with Matt Young’s Mindful Nature Expeditions to offer a series of 6 outdoor excursions between February and July of 2024. This naturalist wellness class will combine observing nature with mindfulness\, creating a practice that incorporates a heightened sense of awareness\, both in ourselves and the environment around us.

This style of observation invites reciprocity\, sit-spots and self-reflection\, journaling and exploration\, and an acknowledgment of our physical and emotional responses while we engage with the outdoors. \nThis is the final of 6 sessions which will be focused on “The comfort of trees and the experiences we’ve shared together on our journey through the classes” that will take place both at Baltimore Woods Nature Center and the CNYLT Pleasant Valley Preserve. \nMore Details: This program is designed for ages 18 and up.

The ample light of the near-solstice sun means nature is at its highest level of activity. Join us to discover what the amphibians are up to during this season. \nRegistration for this program is closed.\nMore details: This program is designed for adults. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. This program will follow our most difficult trails\, which have narrow and steep sections with steps\, roots\, and loose soil.
