If you have been looking for an opportunity to connect to nature and make time for yourself — this is the experience that will provide it — and so much more.
Learn tools and strategies to reduce stress, increase a healthy balance and live from a place of mindfulness all while connecting to the amazing prairie at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge near Prairie City.
There will be four retreats offered that align with the seasons on the prairie. All are welcome to attend and enjoy just one day or all the retreats. Retreats will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays in July, October, February and April.
The dates and themes are:
• Summer: July 8 — “The Nature Connection of Wellbeing”
• Fall: Oct. 7 — “The Mindfulness of Wellbeing”
• Winter: Feb. 10 — “The Balance of Wellbeing”
• Spring: April 14 — “The Gifts of Wellbeing”
Whether you sign up for the year-long experience or a day retreat — all options will include monthly e-updates with additional information, tools, resources and what is happening at Neal Smith NWR.
Registration options include individual retreats or the full year. For more information; go to Heartland Wellbeing Institute at heartlandwellbeinginstitute.org. The Heartland Wellbeing Institute is working with staff and the Friends of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge to develop this new opportunity.
