Webinar: The Healing Power of Nature
October 10, 2023, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern
Nothing comes close to the healing power of nature. Even a short walk amongst the trees can shift everything. With intention and mindfulness we can tap into this healing power almost anytime and anywhere.
Just like in nature, our lives go through natural cycles of growth, harvest, death, and rebirth. In autumn, the air cools, the leaves change color and the trees let go. As the days shorten and the nights lengthen, we begin to prepare for winter.
Join Jason Stout as he presents ways for us to embrace these changes by creating and building meaningful rituals and ceremonies that moves us towards well-being in our daily lives.
This webinar is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
Presenter
Jason Stout
Jason serves as a TAPS Youth Programs Advisor. Jason is passionate about helping youth and adults find their inner strength, form meaningful connections, and experience personal transformation through challenges. This is rooted in the losses of his sister, grandmother, and father — all before Jason was 15 years old. He struggled to deal with these losses as a teen and adult, but he found purpose and healing after completing a 78-day Winter Wilderness Leadership Expedition. In honor of his dad and sister, Jason created a national wilderness program for at-risk and grieving teens, which was featured in Backpacker Magazine, The Denver Post, and the Associated Press. He provides presentations to high schools, universities, and conferences on grief and finding resilience. He previously served Judi's House as Outreach and Education Manager and Outward Bound as the National Outreach Director. Through his work at TAPS, Jason helps grieving children and teens heal through connection and nature.
