Nature's Way at SHEI: 2023 Summer Program Schedule
Starting in June, join us on the accessible pathways at SHEI for Nature's Way lessons. Together, we will focus on quieting the mind's chatter through an array of breathing techniques, and discover how to create a balance in life that nourishes the energy we consume from and contribute to ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. This program is designed to have nature as a guiding tool for how we can strengthen resiliency and adaptation in our own lives, building a thriving characteristic of positive growth. Because we're always growing something!
Lessons are provided in small groups of your peers (e.g. fellow individuals living with physical disability). Each month, June-August, features a different set of lessons with specific goals; held two days a month for each set. In addition to Nature's Way lessons, SHEI offers a special afternoon activity on the accessible pathways after lunch (provided) and between each lesson. It's recommended that June's lessons are experienced first before moving on to July and August's lessons.
See summer schedule below and sign up!
Nature's Way Program Lessons
June 7 & 21
11am-4pm
Tier 1:
The Nature of Nature
During this lesson set, we will be diving into perspectives on nature, working towards broadening our view on what nature is and does. By gaining a broader perspective of Nature and recognizing the interconnectedness of Nature, it is possible to discover how Nature’s Mind opens up for Nature’s Spirit to create new opportunities for growth. Exhibiting resiliency, persistence, and a thriving characteristic of adaptation.
Tools include: various forms of breathing/visualization techniques that quiet the mind, and empowered opportunities to share experiences with peers that will build a supportive community for you beyond these lessons.
July 7 & 21
11am-4pm
Tier 2:
The Nature of Humans
Continuing onto this next set of lessons will deliver you an exploration into the many different perspectives of being Human. We all have different and unique life experiences and stories. Too often, we believe our current perspective/story is the one and only perspective/story, and our life/energy can feel “stuck” in that story. The goal of Tier 2 is to demonstrate that one’s perspective of Self can change, gaining a broader appreciation of our conscious Mind and energetic Spirit and by doing so, we can become “unstuck”, unveiling our potential to manifest new stories that harness the passion of our Spirit and wisdom of our Mind.
