We collaborate with a wide range of organizations that care about people and place, including:

• Schools, colleges, and youth programs.

• Health systems, mental health centers, and wellness programs.

• Faith communities, neighborhood groups, and housing communities.

• Nonprofits, businesses, and civic partners.

If your people are feeling stretched, disconnected, or ready for something more meaningful than another meeting, we would likely be a good fit.

Nature is a powerful setting for both learning and recovery. Research shows that spending time in natural spaces can:

• Lower stress and anxiety and improve mood and focus.

• Support better sleep, immune function, and creativity.

• Help people process difficult experiences in a gentler way.

Being outside or bringing nature indoors also makes sessions feel different from regular meetings. People remember more, open up more, and are more likely to keep using what they learned.

Our programs are coaching and education, not clinical therapy or medical treatment. That means:

• We focus on present-day stress, habits, and goals, not diagnosis.

• We use evidence-informed tools such as mindfulness, horticultural activities, and behavior-change strategies.

• We often partner with therapists, social workers, and health professionals as a complementary resource.

Participants can benefit whether or not they are in therapy. We always respect existing mental health and wellness supports.

The details vary by program, but most sessions follow a simple rhythm:

1. Encouraging arrival to help people transition out of "go mode."

2. A short, accessible nature-based activity such as sensory noticing, simple gardening, or a small ancestral skill.

3. Time for guided reflection, questions, and sharing.

4. A brief wrap-up with one or two small, realistic takeaways.

Our classes feel active and engaging rather than lecture-heavy, and our coaching circles feel structured but relaxed.

We design experiences so people with different bodies, backgrounds, and comfort levels can participate. That includes:

• Choosing accessible paths and seating whenever possible.

• Offering options to sit, stand, or move gently.

• Being thoughtful about sensory load, touch, and privacy.

• Following your organizational policies for safety, supervision, and risk management.

If you have specific accessibility needs or concerns, we will plan around them with care.

Outcomes depend on the program, but organizations often see:

• Short-term benefits such as lower stress, improved morale, and stronger connection among participants.

• Increased comfort with simple nature-based practices that can be used at work or home.

• Growing interest in healthier outdoor spaces such as courtyards or teaching gardens.

We can provide brief pre and post reflections so you have written feedback and simple data to share with leadership and funders.

We aim to make this as easy as possible. Typically, you:

• Share your goals, group size, setting, and constraints in a short call.

• Help us understand your culture, schedule, and any sensitive topics.

We then handle program design, materials lists, and weather backup planning. We also assist with registration language and promotional blurbs.

Yes. We understand budget realities across schools, nonprofits, and community groups. Together we can:

• Right-size the format and length of programs.

• Explore scholarships and sponsored pricing where available.

• Identify potential sponsors who care about well-being, community, or environmental resilience.

If cost feels like a barrier, we invite you to mention it early so we can explore options rather than rule out the idea.

We focus on small, meaningful actions that feel good in the moment and add up over time. In our programs, participants:

• Practice enjoyable activities such as tending plants, building habitat, or learning ancestral skills.

• See immediate, tangible results such as a planted bed, a calmer body, or a new way to use a shared space.

When people feel better and see that their actions matter, they are more likely to continue caring for both themselves and their environment in daily life.

We make planning easy and transparent. Here is how logistics typically work.

Weather, Rain Dates, and Rescheduling

We design every program with a weather-smart backup so the experience still works if conditions change.

• If weather is unsafe or would significantly reduce the experience, we will reschedule or shift to an indoor option when available.

• If your group prefers a true outdoor experience, we can set a rain date in advance.

• We confirm go or no-go timing together, based on the location, season, and activity type.

Cancellations and Refunds

Our work includes planning time, customized session design, and materials preparation.

• If you cancel far enough in advance, we can often reschedule with minimal or no loss of fees.

• If cancellation happens close to the date, we may retain some costs to cover preparation and non-refundable materials.

• If we must cancel due to safety, illness, or unforeseen issues, you may choose a full reschedule or refund of fees paid.

Waivers, Liability, and Insurance

We take safety seriously and keep requirements simple.

• Participants may be asked to complete a liability waiver, depending on the activity and venue.

• We carry liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request.

Permits and Venue Requirements

• If a permit is needed for a park, shelter, fire use, or group gathering, we can help identify requirements.

• Depending on the venue, your organization may handle the permit directly, or we can include it in our logistics support.
