The Healing Powers of Nature

May 19, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) is teaming up with yoga instructor, Melissa Ackerman, to offer a gentle practice and guided meditation honoring the integrity and natural beauty of the forest. Poses will encourage participants to “think like a tree” while experiencing moments of balance and stillness. This outdoor session will be held in the backyard of our office located at the historic Prouty Woods Estate. We encourage all to finish the practice by taking a walk behind the property in NEFF’s 120-acre Community Forest, also open to the public year-round. Please bring a mat or beach towel and prepare to soak in the Healing Powers of Nature.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Please register online at https://newenglandforestry.org/connect/events/.

Note: Participants will be required to sign a liability waiver in person on the day of the event. By attending this event you hereby consent to having your photo/likeness/recordings posted publicly and on social media.

PARKING: Please park on either side of the dirt lot next to the carriage house. If necessary, expanded parking will be made available in the adjacent grass lot. The yoga practice will take place on the lawn directly behind the historic Prouty Woods Estate.
