Nurture your mind, body, and spirit at one of the Nature Center’s longest-running events — Women in Nature. This day-long gathering invites participants to slow down, connect, and be inspired by the natural world and one another.
Enjoy talks from women sharing nature-rooted stories and insights. Wander the trails on guided hikes, engage in hands-on creative sessions, and explore wellness practices like yoga and meditation led by local guides.
Your experience includes a complimentary light breakfast, boxed lunch, and delightful extras like door prizes, women-owned business vendors, and space for meaningful connection.
