Come join us this Fall as we reconnect with ourselves and our natural surroundings.

The Mindfulness in Nature classes will be led by naturalist Erica Blatt, who has her PhD in Environmental Education and is certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Please bring a chair or mat to sit on (outside) for short meditations and discussion. This program is limited to 12 participants. No previous experience necessary. Cost is $75 for Members. $90 for Non-members. Registration for all three sessions is preferred, but individual session sign-up is available.
