Join author, spiritual and somatic guide, and nature connector Rachael Cohen for an inspiring presentation, Nature and the Nervous System.

This experience is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the quiet intelligence of your nervous system, the inner landscape that influences how safe, present, and at ease you feel in the world.

Through personal stories, emerging scientific insights such as forest bathing, and the healing wisdom of plants, Rachael explores how our bodies are living expressions of nature itself. You'll discover practical, body-led somatic and nature-guided practices that can help gently regulate the nervous system, reduce chronic stress, and cultivate a greater sense of peace, resilience, connection, and belonging.

Whether you're seeking personal growth, improved well-being, or simply an opportunity to pause and reconnect, this presentation will leave you feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired.
