Nature & School Wellness Symposium

In collaboration with Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation

The Nature & Wellness Symposium: Nature, Health, and the Future of Learning is a professional development event bringing together educators, school leaders, healthcare professionals, and community partners to explore how nature can support student well-being, educator resilience, and stronger learning outcomes. Hosted by the Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation, the symposium highlights evidence-based strategies for connecting outdoor learning, mental and physical health, and academic success.

I’m honored to be presenting three sessions of The Power of Nature Mindfulness Practice for Schools, a hands-on workshop that explores practical ways to use intentional outdoor experiences to help students build focus, emotional regulation, resilience, and connection in and beyond the classroom.

If you’re an educator, administrator, counselor, professor, or community leader interested in creating healthier, more effective learning environments, I hope you’ll join us for this inspiring day of learning and connection.
