Nature Connected
Welcome to
Nature Connected
We're all a part of nature.
Nature Connected exists to help bring humans into a deeper connection with the natural world. Research tells us that slowing down and spending time in nature offers countless benefits to our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Deepening our relationships with the nature beings that live amongst us—trees, birds, critters, wildflowers, and rivers to name a few—may also benefit the Earth we live upon.
Founded in 2017, Nature Connected uses Forest Therapy as taught by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) as a framework to guide individuals and groups on immersive experiences designed to support health and well-being.
The Forest is the "therapist".
The Forest Therapy Guide opens the doors to the healing powers of nature.
Nature Connected is based in Calgary's Spruce Cliff neighbourhood. Being steps away from forest trails that wind their way down to the Bow River reminds us of our interconnectedness with the natural world - even in an urban landscape. We respect and appreciate the caretakers of this land, acknowledging that we live on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations: the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations. We also acknowledge the presence and contributions of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
Nature Connected welcomes everyone with warmth and respect.
