Nature Connection: Exploring the Five Pathways

About this event

Thank you for signing up for Nature Connection: Exploring the Five Pathways for Nature Rx Day !

When: 1 - 1:45 pm Where: North Ingalls Mall by the "Sunday Morning in Deep Waters" fountain.

How can we deepen our connection with the natural world in the middle of a busy campus day? Join Adventure Leadership for a hands-on, reflective experience inspired by five pathways to nature connection: Senses, Beauty, Emotion, Meaning-Making, and Compassion. Through simple activities like sensory observation, noticing patterns and beauty in our surroundings, creative reflection, and exploring ways to care for the natural world, participants will have an opportunity to slow down, get curious, and discover new ways to connect with nature in everyday life.

Activities will be low-barrier, with options to participate through observation, listening, reflection, drawing, writing, or sharing, depending on individual comfort and access needs. Movement will be gentle and self-paced, and participants will be welcome to remain stationary and engage with the natural environment around them. Activities will not require specialized equipment or prior outdoor experience, and participants can choose how they wish to engage.

Accurate registration counts allows us to provide enough materials for events.
