Description

At a time when both the environment and humans are under stress, we can find a path to well-being by taking a walk in the woods. Earth Heart provides wellness services that foster wholeness for the individual and the planet. Theresa Lewis is a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs. This event will meet at the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park and continue in the adjacent city-managed Bosque. You can expect a guided sensory experience with invitations for you to explore connections with yourself, with others, and with our Nature Relations. The walk concludes with a tea sharing.
