The Wilderness At Your Doorstep

Laura Chávez Silverman helps people access the wild within and around them. As the founding naturalist of The Outside Institute, she teaches slow, intentional and embodied ways of seeing and being in relation to the land, including foraging for edible and medicinal plants. In this presentation, held outside (of course), she’ll delve into what it means to really live where you live—regardless of where that may be—and recommend practices to connect you to the land and your own true nature. Foraged refreshments of the season will be served.
