SUMMARY:Nature & Ritual: Celebrating the Natural World while Grieving Ecological Losses
DESCRIPTION:Limited capacity. Registration required.\n \nMany of us feel alone in our ecological grief. Let’s take a guided\, multi-sensory forest therapy walk\, culminating in a community art ritual that celebrates the natural world while also acknowledging the ongoing loss of its landscapes and species. \nLed by author Dheepa Maturi (108: An Eco-Thriller) and certified forest therapy practitioner Paula Goldberg\, this guided walk at Holliday Park incorporates poetry\, prose\, and multi-sensory observation to culminate in the creation of a collaborative mandala made from natural materials. Participants contribute meaningfully to the mandala\, which will later return to the earth\, symbolizing the cycle of nature. The event incorporates philosophy\, literature\, and cross-cultural spiritual practices to reflect on ecological grief\, the power of ritual\, and our shared responsibility as stewards of the land. Small-group sharing and guided prompts support personal reflection and offer tools for designing individual nature rituals to carry forward beyond the event. \nDate & Time Note: Saturday\, Nov. 8 is the Monumental Marathon (see route map). Getting west of the river to Holliday Park may take a little extra time. Plan accordingly! (2024 Road Closure Map. We’ll post the 2025 map when it is ready.) \nQuestions? Contact 317-274-2462 or info@DheepaRMaturi.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between author Dheepa R. Maturi\, forest therapy practitioner Paula Goldberg\, artist and ethnobotanist Shamira Wilson\, and Holliday Park. \nRegistration: Click here to register. \nAutumn leaves\, laid out in the shape of heart\, heart symbol

SUMMARY:Intro to Mindful Birding: Put Down a Field Guide\, Pick Up Your Feel Guide
DESCRIPTION:Limited capacity. Registration required. \nMindful birding is a practice combining mindfulness with the joy of birding.

Guided by experienced forest therapy practitioners\, attendees will practice mindfulness techniques to enhance awareness\, engage all senses\, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the rhythms\, sounds\, and beauty of local birdlife. This experience fosters calm\, curiosity\, and connection to both nature and community. \nQuestions? Contact 303-408-9158 or michmorton14@gmail.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Michelle Morton Forest Therapy\, Witness Nature Indy\, and Crown Hill Foundation. \nRegistration: Click here to register.
