Subject: Learn to Play & Be Well – free talk!
Wellness of Chatham will be hosting a talk this Thursday, August 22nd from 9 – 10:30am at The Abundance Foundation, 220 Lorax Lane, Pittsboro. The presentation is called Playing, Learning, Being: Reclaiming Wellness with Nature. Our speaker will be Robin Rogers with Learning Outside, a school and program in Chapel Hill focused on teaching children (and adults) the joys of learning about and experiencing their natural surroundings.
The talk will explore the role play, fascinated attention, and connection with nature have in optimizing our well-being and vital health. It aims to share stories and offer suggestions of practices and resources to widen our senses to more fully explore the nature connections through which we can enrich our restoration, resilience, sense of place and wonder in the wild outdoors for ourselves, our children and our communities.
Included is a short walk and activities to experience ‘Forest School’ in action.
As always, this talk is free and open to the public. For more information about this and all future Wellness of Chatham events or to be placed on our events email list, please contact Traci Philips at .
