SUMMARY:Forest First Fridays: A Nature-Based Recovery and Wellness Program
DESCRIPTION:Bonnyvale has partnered with Turning Point of Windham County and the Windham Foundation to offer a yearlong\, nature-based wellness pilot supporting individuals in recovery. We'll be offering individuals the chance to gather monthly on BEEC’s campus for guided sessions that blend outdoor skills\, nature exploration\, and peer support. Through hands-on activities and shared experiences in nature\, this program fosters resilience\, connection\, and healthy habits. \nIn our tenth program in this series\, we will focus on outdoor recovery support\, drawing from our September session on invasive species removal and trail building. \n \nTurning Point of Windham County (TPWC) is a local recovery center located in downtown Brattleboro. TPWC's core mission is to support and improve the lives of our neighbors who are experiencing substance use and addiction\, at any stage of their recovery. They do this through peer-led social connection\, community education\, counseling groups\, recovery support\, outreach\, and advocacy. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Botany and the Body series: Healing the Emotional Body on the Land
DESCRIPTION:$55 members/$65 non-members \nIn the third and final workshop in our Botany and the Body series\, we'll explore how to nurture the emotional body through connection with the land. Participants explore practices for grieving and healing with the support of plants\, trees\, and the surrounding landscape. Deciduous and evergreen trees offer guidance and comfort\, while seasonal flowers\, seeds\, berries\, and cones can be gathered to create art that nourishes emotional and spiritual well-being. \nThe session includes a plant identification and ethnobotany walk\, highlighting plants and trees traditionally associated with the heart and emotional healing\, such as hawthorn\, rose\, pine\, linden\, and catnip. Attendees will collect needles\, cones\, and berries to craft solstice beeswax candles\, integrating the natural materials into a meaningful practice of reflection and care. \nEach participant will receive a complimentary face serum or body scrub from Ursa Major. \nDr. Jessica Dolan is an environmental anthropologist and ethnobotanist\, who has worked with Indigenous communities and environmental caretakers in the Northeast\, as a researcher\, writer\, and on Indigenous history\, land stewardship\, food sovereignty\, and cultural regeneration projects\, for the last 20 years. She currently works at the National Park Service Northeast Region\, Native American Affairs\, and is writing an ethnobotany field guide. Her daily work involves writing\, creating interpretive resources\, and planning/teaching environmental stewardship education\, across the Northeast. She is a loving parent to a third generation Brattleboro kid.
