Provider Nature & Mindfulness Groups
Connection to Self Connection to Other Connection to Nature
Connection is at the center of all Heartwood programming. While disconnection is the source of much human suffering, it is through connection that we can engage in a meaningful life.
What?
Join us outdoors Saturday April 5 for our next provider group in Goshen. Our hope is to build and strengthen a supportive community of health and wellness providers, with a shared interest in nature and mindfulness. Our group sessions will take place once every season, and our hope is to extend additional offerings based on interest. Our April group will involve a variety of somatic and mindfulness practices, games, and group discussions. The group will end with a simple vegetarian dinner and a fire.


Where?
Set in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains along the West Branch Mill River, Heartwood Expeditions headquarters is basecamp for most retreat and group activities. At 1,200 feet, our site is home to abundant wildlife, wetlands, hemlock forests, and rolling terrain, making it a prime location to learn about and connect more deeply with nature. Our events take place outdoors rain or shine.




Why?
In our busy lives it is often easy to forget the importance of connection and community, and the value of returning to experiences that foster joy and play. Our hope is create opportunities for participants to connect in meaningful ways, learn new skills, and have some wholehearted fun! We are excited for the chance to spend time with old and new friends, share our collective wisdom, and enjoy a restorative afternoon/evening together.
