Sunday Reflection & Nature Connection
Sunday Reflection & Nature Connection
Come as you are and step into sacred relationship with the living world. We will gather virtually for a gentle, one-hour circle rooted in connection with the more-than-human world. Our time together will include an opening meditation, poetry, and a nature-based experience—with an invitation to step outside if you’re able. We’ll close with brief group sharing and a final poem or meditation.
All are welcome to this weekly nature-based community gathering—a space to slow down, connect, and remember your belonging.
To register reach out to Niki at nikolaia@somaticnaturetherapy.com.
“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”
