Touch grass: nature connection for queers and their besties

2 hours of simple, guided exercises to connect with nature through your senses.
You’ll get clear instructions, gentle guidance, and space to share or stay quiet—whatever feels comfortable for you. The event is in English.

We’ll meet at 13:00 at one of the smaller park entrances, acros from the Vrijburg church on Diepenbrockstraat 46, 1077 WB Amsterdam ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/FiVMXbNNeV9sLYHo8) and we walk together to the spot where our circle and other activities will take place.
By 15:00, we’ll be back at the entrance where we started.

Because nature is the best! And so are queers! And so is community!
Spending time in nature supports health and wellbeing — it helps us relax, recharge, and feel more connected to ourselves and others.
It’s likely going to be fun!
You’ll meet new queers or spend time with familiar faces, all while surrounded by trees and fresh air.

• Not nature therapy — it’s a nature connection activity.
• Not a herbal medicine walk.
• Not a ritual.

Because I’m still in training to become a Nature Connection Guide with the Forest Therapy Hub https://foresttherapyhub.com/, this session is free.
Your feedback afterwards will be very appreciated — it helps me grow and improve my practice.

Queer folks and their besties/ best allies ever who love nature — or who want to explore what it’s like to be more present and connected in nature.

To help create a safe-enough space, all participants will be asked to fill out a short form in advance (about mobility, allergies, or anything else you’d like me to know as your guide).

If you cannot make it, please cancel in advance, so that someone else can take your spot.

• Sturdy shoes
• Rainproof clothes and/or an umbrella
• Water, tea, or a small snack
• Extra layer of clothing in case it gets chilly

(The event will take place even if it rains light-medium)

Noa is a nature connection guide and a counseling therapist in training. They spent 15 years in activism and they are now spending most of their time either touching grass, or bringing people together to touch grass. Solidarity, community and simplicity are at the core of their work. They always appreciate a dad joke and a crunchy snack.
