Tuesday Mornings
Noon – 1pm PST
1/6, 1/13, 1/20, 1/27
Start your year with intention. The Nature Reboot is a four-week online mini-course that invites you to rediscover your relationship with the natural world and reconnect with what’s real. Through guided sessions with experienced mentors, daily nature practices, and the NatureMe app, you’ll build simple, lasting routines that bring calm, focus, and joy back into your days.
Beginning with the fundamentals, you’ll learn more than just a set of skills — you’ll begin to see and feel the world differently. Participants will shift from passive observers of nature to active participants in the living story of the land. Learn to view the natural world through Owl Eyes, listen with Deer Ears, and understand all that unfolds around you, bringing together a profound connection with nature and a more centered version of yourself.
Program Logistics
All sessions are experiential in nature and build on the previous session. We understand unexpected circumstances, but ask that you do what you can to attend all Zoom sessions live. In the event of an absence, recordings will be made available for the week following the live session.
Please come to each session with a journal, and be prepared to be outside for a portion of the session. A subscription to NatureMe is required, and participants should download for iOS or Android prior to the class start.
