Rooted in Relationship: Land, Care, and Community Wellness
This session will explore the relationship between land, care, and wellness through an Indigenous land-based lens. Jacqueline Bennett will invite participants to reflect on how nature-based and horticultural practices can move beyond activity-based programming toward deeper relationships with Land, place, community, and self. Grounded in themes of reciprocity, relational accountability, and belonging, this webinar will offer gentle reflections for practitioners who support healing, learning, and well-being through the natural world.
Joining live is strongly encouraged, but a recording will be available to registrants.
