About the event

Calm Roots: Preparing for Parenthood in Nature
A mini retreat to help you tap into the healing and calming powers of nature, mindfulness, and community as you prepare for baby's arrival.

About this Event

Tap into the healing powers of nature, mindfulness, and community as you begin your parenting journey. This unique 90-minute program blends gentle, nature-based grounding exercises with practical tools to help you cultivate calm, presence, and resilience as you prepare to welcome your child.

Co-led by Chelsea Hanson, certified Family Forest Therapy guide, and Kristine Cain, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), you'll engage in slow, mindful forest bathing practices designed to reduce stress and deepen your connection with the natural world. Through guided sensory experiences, breathing exercises, and gentle movement, you'll learn to regulate your nervous system and find peace in the present moment.

Learn how our nervous system responds to stress and change, and explore evidence-based techniques to build emotional regulation skills that will serve you throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. We’ll discuss practices for managing anxiety, creating calm in chaos, and fostering secure attachment with your baby.

This workshop is designed for all expecting parents, including co-parents, adoptive parents, and other soon-to-be caregivers of babies. No previous experience necessary. 

This program takes place entirely outdoors at Lake Katherine Nature Center. Please dress for the weather and bring water. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
