🌿 Welcome, Jeffrey Green! Natural Awakenings is thrilled to welcome Jeffrey Green to our team as a writer and Panhandle Ambassador for all things alternative, natural, and holistic.

A Maine native who grew up working the land, Jeffrey’s love of nature began in the potato fields of Caribou. A retired educator and adjunct professor, he’s no stranger to Natural Awakenings—he previously wrote for the Tucson edition and led the “Plant Medicine” section.

Jeffrey’s journey into holistic wellness is deeply personal. After years of chronic pain and multiple surgeries, he discovered alternative therapies through Natural Awakenings, which helped him regain his health and life. For over a decade, he’s been an advocate for natural treatments, nutrition, and mind-body wellness—and he’s excited to share that knowledge with our Panhandle community.

Vision boards aren’t just about pictures and goals—they’re powerful tools for children’s emotional growth. When paired with focus wheels, kids learn to identify feelings, build confidence and align emotionally with what truly matters to them. Backed by research and expert insight, these creative practices support self-awareness, resilience and whole-child wellness. ✨🎨

As we look ahead to 2026, we are delighted to welcome back Laura Tyree, owner of Dragonfly Yoga, who will guide us in a meditation and yoga practice at the Destin Library.

Due to a forecast of light rain, we most likely will meet inside the library on Tuesday, January 13, 2026–9:00 - 10:30 am. If weather permits, we begin with a walking meditation in the Zen garden, led by master gardener, Velda Dougherty.

If you want to participate, bring a yoga mat and bottle of water. Or simply come to learn more about the meditation/yoga connection. All levels of meditators are welcome to this free and non-sectarian event.
