The pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 are reinforcing for all what psychologists and environmental advocates have long stated: being outside is quite literally healing. Many have turned to the natural environment seeking spiritual and physical restoration.
We are pleased to provide an opportunity to explore how the landscape can heal us, and how we, in return, need to heal it. We are learning that our interaction with the landscape is molded by our own cultures, diversity and origins.
On November 5, join us for a morning with three researchers, practitioners and thinkers who are deeply engaged in how urban space is accessed and to explore the complex relationships of humans in the landscape.
