as autumn unfolds. Join us for a relaxing and immersive day of renewal in nature with your education colleagues! A host of wellness practitioners will facilitate restorative and generative workshops in yoga, art, breath, play, immune system support, and nature
connection. You will also be treated to a beautiful and healthy lunch. After a day of nature and wellness connection, everyone is sure to leave calm, refreshed, and ready for the remainder of the school year–balanced and barefoot. The best part is that it
is FREE to you as a hard working educator. <i>Come join the day and let us give back to you! </i>Please register soon;<i> </i>space is limited.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
