Nature & Contemplative Studies
“We seek to not only minimize our ecological footprint, but to change our relationship with the Earth, our environment.”
The Nature Studies Conservatory’s Educational Institute was created to help facilitate the recovery of our planet and local-global communities. We provide community education and resources to improve quality of life and optimizing whole life health and wellbeing. Our focus is building restorative relationships with the environment (mind-body-heart/soul, family, partner/friends, home/workplace, local-global community, and Nature/the Earth).
