ACMH’s statewide staff recently had the opportunity to spend an entire day at Kalamazoo Nature Center learning about the important connection between nature and mental health from Dr. Brian Forist.
Staff also had the opportunity to work with artists from Treewhisperers an ongoing, international, multi-generational collaboration that allows participants to share their personal stories and connection to trees through art that is then part of a traveling exhibit.
The setting was beautiful the information was eye opening and the retreat was a great opportunity for all to learn and reconnect!
Julie Davis says
This was an amazing day! My favorite part was looking at the Treewhispers’ display. To learn how trees touched peoples lives through their own art work was amazing. I was glad to be a part of the experience.
