We will begin with introductions, community building, and setting the tone for a nourishing day. Mary Grace will lead an interactive discussion on ecotherapy concepts and introduce tools to put into practice in your own life. The focus of this retreat will be grounded in the season of fall. We will have a lovely catered lunch by Well-Bred in Weaverville. Next, everyone will get to venture around the property, explore, and put some of the ecotherapy tools into practice. You may choose to have a solo experience with nature, explore with a buddy, or small group. All up to you! We will come back together to discuss our ecotherapy experiences as a group. While creating a nature keepsake to take home with you, conversation will center around how to practically apply these principles to your life. You will leave feeling grounded, connected to self, others, and nature. Having the information and practices to incorporate more nature into your daily life to feel your best.
