Nature As Medicine Online Course

Suggested donation $30

Many of us are experiencing unprecedented levels of emotional disregulation during this stay at home time with a range of feelings including anxiety, depression, grief, fear, sadness and anger. One of the main sources of refuge for many, including myself, is in the natural world.

‘Nature connection is proven to help regulate the nervous system. This regulation is something we need more than ever. By spending time outside or creating intentional space to connect with nature (even virtually) it can help combat the fear of our global situation, the uncertainty of our future, the confusion and intrusions from media. The healing power of nature can help our immunity and help us feel resourced and interconnected.’ - says clinical eco therapist Lezlie Scaliatine.

This four week course will teach us how to use nature connection to feel grounded, calm, nourished & cared for in this time of uncertainty. Participants will be offered strategies to find sanctuary and emerge intentionally from this time of quarantine & social distancing. We will begin with an online gathering for initiation & instructions and to conclude with final group connection and council share. These online group sessions will be recorded if you are unable to attend in person.

This program can be done from your own home, back yard or local surroundings. In addition to our weekly Zoom call you will receive two emails per week that Include the following :

  • Call reminders and contemplation tips for upcoming session & follow up call with recording link & instructions for weekly focus

  • Earth inspired Breathwork

  • Mindfulness in Nature Méditations

  • Self care practices

  • Nature invitations

  • Earth poetry

  • Nature based resources

  • Writing/creativity prompts

  • Seasonal Wisdom Teachings

“Be ground.
Be crumbled.
So wild flowers will come up where you are.
You have been stony for too many years.
Try something different. 
Surrender.”    ~Rumi
