Tending to Ourselves in Nature

Deepen your connection to the natural world during a three-hour experience in the mountains with your guide Kim Bushore-Maki, therapist and adjunct faculty member of the ETSU Nature Based Therapy Graduate Certificate Program.

🍃 Over the course of the morning, you will have opportunities to:

• Engage with the natural world
• Shift your perspective around a topic of your choosing
• Restore your nervous system
• Listen to your inner wise voice
• Ground in your body
• Celebrate the season of spring

As with any nature-based activity, this experience is challenged by choice. You may modify or opt out of any invitation that is extended. There will be some light to moderate hiking, so participants will need to be able to walk on uneven terrain without assistance. The location will be within a 30 mile radius (at most) of Johnson City, TN. The exact location will be provided as we get closer to the event date. Carpooling is possible.

🏔️ You will need to bring the following items:

• At least one quart of water, preferably two quarts, to drink
• Comfortable shoes with good tread to hike
• Bug repellant
• Sunblock and/or sun blocking clothing/hat
• Snacks
• Journal and pen/pencil
• Blanket, towel, or portable chair to sit upon

Unless there is lightning, torrential rains, or high winds, this event will happen regardless of the weather. If you have any questions about helpful gear, please contact Kim.

Tending to Ourselves in Nature is an invitation to nurture our interconnection with Nature as well as to recognize the wisdom of the-more-than-human world. Please join us if this invitation resonates with you. ✨
