Apr 12    Nourished By Nature with Wendy Loomis

Join us and learn about nature in a whole new light! Hastings’ own, Wendy Loomis, will be sharing some insights with us about how our mind, bodies and souls can be nourished by nature. Nature touches us all and exploring the healing components of connecting with nature can change attitudes, outlooks and our overall health! Nature can be calming, exciting and even help us focus! Wendy will share a bit with us about how plants and nature can be medicine, especially to those suffering illness or loss.

Bring a little nature into your life with Wendy’s help. Enjoy a sensory experience as Wendy shares some of the sights and smells of nature right in the room. Touch and feel some plants, smell some amazing aromatherapy and take a little bit of nature home with you, as we make a planting project together. Studies show that a plant in a room can improve mood, cognition, energy and even decrease pain. We will have everything you need, however, feel free to bring a small, tea cup-sized container to use for your project if you would like.

Whether you are experiencing loss, loneliness or just need a spring “pick me up”, this session is for you. This session is free for all who attend. Space is limited, please reserve your seat today to ensure there are enough project materials for each person.
