Upcoming Workshops & Programs
We believe that everyone should have access to restful & restorative time with nature! So, although we are mostly a traveling program – we do also have workshops and programs available to anyone and everyone at our nature center in West Concord, MA.
Bring a friend, make it a date night, or come on your own. The Nature Connection is an open, welcoming, and supportive space. Come as you are and enjoy a guided nature experience in an intimate small group setting. Connect with nature like never before!
Pet Loss Workshop for Families
Nature Journaling at Gaining Ground
Pottery with a Purpose
Thursday, April 9th, 6:00 – 8:00 PM, Needham
Calling all plant parents! Join Pottery with a Purpose and The Nature Connection for a special Make Your Own Plant Pot or Vase Workshop in our Needham pottery studio (with a special guest appearance). Sculpt your own custom planter – basic, textured, footed, face-shaped, whatever your vibe. Whether your monstera needs a new home or your cactus wants an upgrade, you’ll leave with a pot as unique as your plant baby.
Light refreshments (drinks + snacks) will be served! And, we’ll have a special guest… we will be joined by a furry therapy animal to provide a calming, stress-free environment for the group.
Bonus: $15 from each ticket sold will be donated to The Nature Connection, a non-profit with a mission to improve the well-being of individuals and communities through the therapeutic use of nature.
