The land cannot be healed until the people are healed by the land.” – Martin Prechtel\, author  \nNature can be a great healer for the heartaches we all experience along our journey. Join Naila Francis\, founder of This Hallowed Wilderness\, for a writing workshop to explore the restorative power of nature (right around Earth Day). \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Hildacy Preserve\, listening to our inner voices\, on this inspiring nature immersion that also invites us into reciprocal relationship with the land and wildlife. \nBring a notebook and a writing instrument for this workshop. (We will also have some available.) \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time beside the flowing Crum Creek\, and quiet reflection. \nYou will be invited to share whatever you wish in a “sacred circle\,” but this is not required. The intent of this event is to bring people together\, whatever their losses and struggles\, and to connect with others and the natural world at their own comfort level. \nAbout our instructor: Naila is a grief coach and death midwife who companions people on their grief journey through multiple spaces and practices\, including meditations in nature and the written word.   URL:https://wp.natlands.org/event/grief-workshop-hildacy-2026-0423/ LOCATION:Hildacy Preserve\, 1031 Palmers Mill Road\, Media\, Pennsylvania\, 19063 CATEGORIES:arts & entertainment,explore the natural world,general,health and wellness,member perks,nature walks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wp.natlands.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10-Hildacy_Ariel-Fierro-5-25-19-20190525_185211.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T113000 DTSTAMP:20260420T165208 CREATED:20260220T193921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260415T181028Z UID:10001329-1777107600-1777116600@wp.natlands.org SUMMARY:Birds & Belonging: A Walk with Philly Queer Birders - Waitlist DESCRIPTION:This event is full. Please join our waitlist below. \nBirds\, community\, and spring vibes abound. Join us as Natural Lands teams up with Philly Queer Birders for an inclusive\, all-levels bird walk at Hildacy Preserve. \nThis relaxed outing welcomes LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to enjoy spring migration\, learn about local birds\, and connect with community in a supportive outdoor space. \nNo birding experience required—just curiosity and a love of being outside. \nAbout our partners: Philly Queer Birders\, founded in March 2021\, is a monthly group that builds LGBTQIA+ community through birding while exploring Philadelphia’s parks and natural spaces\, plus surrounding areas. The group welcomes all skill levels\, emphasizes accessibility and inclusivity\, and centers queer experiences\, offering a fun\, supportive environment for anyone who appreciates birds. \nThe songbirds\, raptors\, waterfowl\, and shorebirds—about 300 recorded species—that rely on habitats under Natural Lands care are not just beautiful but also essential to the health of our planet. What’s more\, they are environmental indicators\, warning us of climate shifts and other ecosystem changes. \nLearn more about what Natural Lands is doing for bird conservation.
