Nature Worx

05/06/2026

We were recently invited to bring Nature Worx to Aberdeen High School, and it's been so much fun!

Tucked behind the school is a beautiful nature trail and outdoor classroom that hadn’t been used for years. With the help of a few dedicated staff members and students, we brought it back to life—and now it’s becoming a space for connection, reflection, and growth.

Today, we slowed down together. We felt the breeze, listened to the wind moving through the trees, and discovered tiny flowers hidden along the trail. We breathed in fresh air and even welcomed a few gentle raindrops.

At the end of our 45-minute session, students shared they felt calmer, more peaceful, and happier. One student even said her headache had gone away.

Moments like these remind us how powerful it is to simply step outside and reconnect.

Sometimes healing starts with something simple—stepping outside, taking a deep breath, and reconnecting with nature.

A walk in the woods, sunshine on your face, or even a quiet moment under a tree can help reduce stress, restore calm, and remind us we’re not alone.

This month, make time for your mental well-being. Step outside. Pause. Breathe. 🌿

How does nature support your mental health?

Caregivers spend so much time caring for others—it’s important to make space to care for yourself, too.

Join us for a peaceful 2-hour nature immersion designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. We’ll spend time outdoors with guided mindful nature connection and some gentle yoga to help ease stress and restore calm.

Child care will be provided for those who may need a little extra support in making self-care possible.

Come give yourself permission to pause, recharge, and be nurtured by nature.

Where: Irvine Nature Center
When: Sunday, May 24th from 10 to noon

Today at Lake Roland, we had the privilege of spending time in nature with an incredible group from a local recovery house. Their openness, honesty, and willingness to be vulnerable created such a powerful space for healing and
connection.

It was beautiful to witness people truly slowing down, breathing deeply, and allowing themselves to receive the peace that nature offers. One participant shared, “This was just what I needed. I feel much calmer and more peaceful. I need to do this more often.”

Moments like these remind us why this work matters so much—nature has a way of helping us reconnect with ourselves, find calm in the chaos, and remember that healing is possible.

We’re so grateful to walk alongside these communities on their journey. 💚

We talk about phytoncides in our sessions. This clip explains why the forest makes us feel so calm.

There’s something wonderfully grounding about taking your shoes off and feeling the earth beneath your feet 🌿👣

Walking barefoot can help strengthen foot muscles, improve balance, reduce stress, and help us feel more connected to nature. Around the world, there are even designated barefoot trails where people mindfully walk across grass, sand, bark, and stones to fully experience the outdoors through touch.

Sometimes the simplest way to reconnect is to slow down… and kick off your shoes.
