Humans are wired for connection. We are at our best when we are present to our own experience, interact with others, and use our senses to explore the world around us. Yet the grind of modern life often separates our minds from our bodies, isolates us from one another, and leaves little space for being present to the world around us. At NatureWerks, we combine the science of mindfulness, ecology, and nature connection to deliver outcomes of increased:

• mental and physical health

• creativity and cognitive function

• meaning, joy, and satisfaction

• resilience in the midst of illness and crisis

• generosity and compassion.

At NatureWerks, we bring mindfulness down to earth.

Mindfulness in Nature Courses.

Our unique approach to mindfulness prioritizes sensory experience, listening our bodies, nature engagement, and having compassion for one another and the world around us.

For businesses and organizations.

From workshops for working professionals, to programs for those at risk, to tailored single-day or multi-day retreats — we provide resources to bring mindfulness & nature tools and techniques to the workplace and group practice.

Everyday Nature.

Engaging in nature begins where we live. Nature is everywhere around us, from potted plants and boulevard trees to backyard gardens and local parks. Click below for ideas to increase your connection with nature at home, in your neighborhood, and in your region.

Embodied Practice

Emerging research in psychology and neuroscience reveal how we hold emotion, trauma, and tension in our bodies. We integrate proven practices to help each other reconnect with the healing wisdom of our bodies and joys of daily life.

Spiritual Formation

Looking to make a change in life? We believe that each of us is our own best leader. At the same time, we all need companionship on the journey. NatureWerks provides resources for insight, healing, and growth rooted in ecology, mindfulness, and embodied practice.
