Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves

Healing the Earth, Healing Ourselves

A reciprocal healing series from the Natural History Institute

There is a growing awareness of the positive mental, physical, and physiological benefits that humans can reap from time spent in nature. Join the Natural History Institute in this new series where we ask: how can we heal ourselves in nature? And how can we, in all gratitude, work to heal the earth? Through these talks and workshops, we explore how to heal and how to give back.
