And\, “collaborative and interpersonal awareness” builds on that skill by adding other people into the equation. Healthy collaboration depends on multiple people showing up with self-knowledge.  \n\n\n\nThese relational skills are imbued in almost everything we do and yet a lot of people lack the skills needed for “conscious & consensual relating”. Conscious & consensual relating comes from listening to others’ boundaries\, adjusting your behavior respectfully\, navigating differences without judgment or expectation\, and co-creating agreements that include and respect all parties involved. Most of the time this stuff is happening behind the scenes\, unspoken and barely acknowledged and understood by each party. But direct teaching of these skills can be helpful. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will break down the foundations of interpersonal relationships so we can show up with more awareness\, understanding\, and empowerment. In this interactive workshop\, we will clarify all of the above through examples\, supportive worksheets related to boundaries and consent\, interactive exercises including guided Dowell work for physical awareness\, active listening for reciprocal assertive and receptive roles\, and partnering to practice shared agreements. These important and fun activities will help to train the brain in ways that can be applied to real-life scenarios. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for this important event\, where we can come together in support of one another and enhance our social understanding in personal\, educational\, and professional settings and relationships. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.

In time\, Mark began breeding birds and working with bird breeders in the United States. Now a large portion of their business is to export birds\, mammals and reptiles born here to other countries in the world as far away as Japan\, Chile and Denmark as pets for people to enjoy. We will explore this wonderful “pet shop” and meet Mark. The outing will be followed by refreshments at Sugarberry\, a bakery/coffee shop that is two doors down for camaraderie and conversation. Parents should drop off at Parrots of the World and pick up at Sugarberry (there is parking and an entrance in back\, if needed). \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Project Stewardship program\, please register using the “Member” registration below.

Experience “A Place of Wonder” within yourself\, with others and the natural world. Several sensory “nature invitations” are provided while we walk the grounds around Historic Malcolm House and take the trail to our Meadow Farm. Open to all ages and abilities… adults\, teens/young adults\, and parents with younger children\, alike! Community groups are welcome\, too! \n\n\n\nThemes change\, but some highlights for engaging with Nature have included “connecting with trees”\, “making nature’s music”\, “collecting nature scents”\, and “finding textures in nature”. We gather in a community circle for reflection. Regular participation in Forest Bathing can reduce stress\, improve memory and focus\, bolster immune system response\, lead to better sleep\, and an overall sense of well-being. Come reap the benefits by participating in this community event! \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nIf you are already a member of our Nature & Wellness Connections program\, please register using the free “Member” registration below.
