SUMMARY:Nature as Healer: A (Grief) Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The people cannot be healed until the land is healed. 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. \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Gwynedd 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.) \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. \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time in the Betz Memorial Garden\, and quiet reflection. \nPlease save the rain date in the event of inclement weather: Sunday\, June 7\, 1:00 – 3:00 PM. \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.

SUMMARY:Birds & Belonging: A Walk with Philly Queer Birders - Waitlist
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: We are currently watching the weather for this event. Rain date will be Sunday\, April 26 (weather permitting)\, or another date to be announced. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Nature as Healer: A (Grief) Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The people cannot be healed until the land is healed. 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.
