"Nature time is important for children and families, but it's just one corner of the puzzle." 

​

PURPOSE OF NATURE'S NURTURERS: At Featherfin, we are mindful of the generational cycles of pain that lead children to struggle to thrive in childhood and adulthood. We believe that a relationship with the natural world is an essential protective factor for these adverse effects. But truth be told, we know that families today need much more than nature medicine to thrive. They need community of a certain type - empowering, joyful, and helpful - spaces and gatherings in which they can be nurtured through community support and shared understanding.

​

Spending time in this sort of community can be like sun and rain for the growing plant. Except the plant is your family, always changing through the seasons of life.

​

Nature's Nurturers gatherings are a place for laughter, learning, and safe space connection. Programs vary, but all are united by one common goal - to help caregivers feel inspired and connected on their epic journey of caring for children.

​

Typical Nature Nurturer programs include:

Out Outside - small group eco-therapy experiences that prioritize inner work and emotional healing through shared vulnerability. Challenges and celebrations are shared and recognized. Held in private and public green spaces, each gathering includes a nature walk to assure that the natural world will be an active participant in all gatherings. 

 

Curious Caregivers - learning based gatherings for parent caregivers and early childhood professionals interested in topics related to early childhood development and family wellbeing. Sample programs include film and book chats, parent skill building classes, guest lectures, casual roundtable discussions, and more.
