Rooted in Nature

Experience guided adventures through the Indiana Dunes and beyond—exploring the deep connection between nature, health, and the human spirit. Participants will engage their senses, practice forest bathing, learn nature photography, and discover how biodiversity impacts our wellbeing.

The Adventures

Rooted In Nature will provide several types of adventures
into the Museum of Nature and Industry, the Indiana Dunes.

Together we will:

  • Explore the Indiana Dunes and discuss its impact on our microbiome. It has the greatest
    biodiversity density in America and it is ours to explore. 

  • Discuss in the Indiana Dunes how each of the five senses impacts your spiritual, mental, and
    physical health

  • Practice forest bathing which is a process to improve spiritual, mental and physical health.

  • Take an evening sunset hike.

  • Teach photography (smartphone and consumer cameras) to capture and share nature with those around us.
