Healing With Nature

Healing With Nature

Sunday, September 1, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Find the healing you need in nature.  Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in a forest or other natural environment. Sound Healing is the practice of using sound and frequency for relaxation, healing, and personal development.

Join Linda Lombardo, Forest Therapy Guide, and Dayna Hunter, Sound Energy Practitioner, for an immersive 3-hour nature and sound experience. We will explore the trails and take pauses for all to be present and to fully experience peaceful moments with nature, gathering some therapeutic benefits it has to offer. The forest bathing will be followed by a sound bath ceremony led by Dayna Hunter. Sound therapy is the perfect complement to nature. Together they have a rich medicinal synchronicity and can change the entire energy state of your mind, body, and spirit, a truly transformative experience.

We will end by the campfire with ceremonial tea. Register below.

Join Ranger Eric for the final adventures on survival. An overnight stay to test all skills! This immersive experience is designed to put the skills you’ve honed in our Workshop Series into action. Kick off the adventure by setting up a group campsite and pitching tents, fostering teamwork and camaraderie from the start. Embark on a resource walk to understand the lay of the land, then gather around as we establish our fire, the heart of our campsite. As the embers glow, indulge in a communal dinner where everyone shares their favorite camping dishes, creating a feast of shared knowledge and flavors. Spend the evening refining your cordage skills under the stars. Awaken to a new day with a hot breakfast, complete with coffee and orange juice, fueling you for a morning dedicated to practicing and perfecting the survival skills of your choice. This challenge isn’t just a test; it’s a celebration of your journey and a testament to your readiness for whatever the wild may hold. Be prepared for the elements with proper layers, footwear, gloves, and a hand towel. In the case of rain, there will not be an indoor option. Minimum age- 15 years old (Children under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.) This is the final of ten “stand-alone” workshops in 2024.

Saturday, May 18, 2024

We are thrilled that the South Bay Art Association is holding Repurposed & Reimagined Found Objects, an art exhibition, and auction to benefit CEED at the Washington Lodge on May 18. SBAA asked artists to create and donate works of art using found materials.  The results are sure to be amazing.  Join us to see the works and maybe you’ll go home with a new treasure and support CEED at the same time.

The arrival of migrating and resident warblers is a thrill for birders. In a three hour workshop, educator and birding enthusiast Katie Kleinpeter helps you learn how to find and identify our region’s warblers and other springtime birds. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a pair of ours to take a look at the local forest birds here for the spring months.
