It has become commonplace in modern society for people to feel a sense of disconnection from our natural environment, from other people, the land and its inhabitants which we are part of, and a loss of childlike wonder. Investing the time and intention to connect with nature sets the stage for developing more intimate relationships with others and with the world around us, experiencing natural healing through well-documented physical and psychological benefits, and empowering us to be active in caring for our planet.

Beverly offers year-round programs for small groups including Women in the Wild, Go Into Nature after school programs for children in 5 local public schools, summer camps, Refugee Welcome, and individual sessions for adults.

"The future will belong to the nature-smart—those individuals, families, businesses, and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need." -Richard Louv
