About this event

Health • Personal health

Join us for a conversation on the potential benefits of living a place-based life. Consider where you currently live and ask yourself this: I live here, but how much do I really know, love, and inhabit this place as home? We’ll consider how our physical, mental and spiritual health can be improved if we understand how the natural systems in our home places work. We will explore how the creation and protection of healthy ecosystems takes into account the welfare of all humans and the more than human dwelling in our region and connects us to something greater than ourselves.
