Dreamy late-summer scenes at Roger Williams Park! 🌞🌳

Thank you to everyone who has made the season magical so far!

Save the date! On October 22 at 6 PM, we`re screening No Country for Mothers, a documentary about what motherhood really looks like in America today, following activist Reshma Saujani.

We’re working with local organizations to reach mothers in our city and state. A Q&A session will follow the film with a panel of professionals.

Would hope you can join us for this free screening at the @rwpbotanicalcenter! Register online (link in bio), and stay tuned for details!

As the seasons begin to change, it`s a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We`re excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest.

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
