Leader: Lorena Saavedra Smith Modern lifestyle disconnects us from nature and our historical bonds with our environment, binding our understanding of the interdependent relationships among natural elements and their impact on our well-being. This immersive workshop series is divided into four stand-alone sessions, each session focused on one of the four elements of nature: Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. This series engages participants in experiential activities to reconnect with each element’s unique qualities and reveals how these forces coalesce into a holistic natural system. Group exercises, reflective discussions, and storytelling help participants draw on generational knowledge that deepens their bond with the natural world. By the end of each session, attendees gain renewed insight, a stronger commitment to environmental stewardship, and the empowerment to advocate for an integrated connection with nature. Join us for the first of four Living the Elements sessions at Pohick Bay Regional Park, where we will explore a deep connection with the water element. Part of the program will involve paddling on the water. Day-of rentals (including kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, life jackets, and paddles) are available at the park on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants may also choose to bring their own watercraft. If you choose to do so, please be advised you must also bring and wear your own lifejacket. This is the first of four Living the Elements workshops: we hope you join us for Fire (June 14), Earth (September 20), and Wind (November 15)!
