Wander and Wonder: Family Wellness
June 20 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
$20 – $45
Wander and Wonder is a nature-based workshop designed and led by Laura Garcia, PhD to help parents and children reconnect.
Rooted in evidence-based practices from early childhood development, psychology, and nature therapy, this workshop provides an opportunity to explore the beauty of everyday nature and deepen parent-child relationships.
Participants move through four stations that include icebreakers, sensory activities, meditation, and group discussions, each offering opportunities to notice, feel, and reflect.
Families will walk away with a greater sense of community, emotional awareness, and calming practices that they can use in day-to-day family life to help strengthen family bonds.
This workshop is open to all ages. Adults: $40 members, $45 non-members. Children: $15 members, $20 non-members. 0-2 years old are free.
Advance registration required, registration opens to members on May 5 at 10am and to non-members on May 12 at 10am.
