As one becomes more proficient, comfortable, and habitual with their practice, your Nurtured by Nature™ practice can be self-guided.

Where do Nurtured by Nature™ practices take place?

Typically, practices are held as a class in an outdoor space. These locations can be in a park, a meadow, a forest, or woods, or even a backyard.
