Have you found yourself wanting to spend less time doom-scrolling and staring at screens, yearning to reconnect with nature and touch grass? We get it, and we’re here to offer you exactly what you need to reset your mind and feel grounded right in time for the fall.  

Join us for the second time on August 30th, 2026, from 12 pm-3 pm for Nature Nurtures: a mindfulness retreat with guided Hatha yoga and nature bathing in the garden – offering you a chance to slow down and take a deep breath in Wharton Glade.  

You can expect a beautiful nature-bathing workshop guided by UBC assistant professor Dr. Tahia Devisscher, as well as a calming Hatha yoga session taught by certified instructor Katie Dritsas.

Limited spots are available; no previous yoga experience is necessary. Sign up here! 

Cost: $20
