Roots of Resiliency: 5-Week Support Group
Resiliency Support Group Overview
Is the state of current events increasing your sense of unsafety? Is it becoming increasingly difficult to see where you can make an impact and feel in control? Nature serves as an important, but underutilized source of sanctuary and calm for navigating feelings of helplessness regardless of where you are in the world. This free, 5-week outdoor program offers a safe and compassionate environment to address feelings of overwhelm. Through shared connection and nature-based activities, this group will:
-
Build a sense of belonging through shared narratives.

Engage with nature-based activities to facilitate processing difficult thoughts and feelings.
