Inspired by the nature-based healing practices of indigenous people and contemporary research findings on nature’s healing powers, the Healing Nature Center and Trail are designed to foster nature-based physical and emotional healing. The Center and Trail grew out of requests for a quiet, inspiring place for walking meditation, self-discovery, reconnecting with nature, and retreat space. Therapists have been seeking a supportive place to work with clients in nature, and the Trail-Center complex has been created to meet their special needs as well.

The wildflower-bordered labyrinth gives visitors a way to leave behind the pressures and stresses of daily life, and to gain more clarity and awareness for what lies ahead. The experience inspires a deeper connection and trust with oneself. The Cosmorinth, a meditative stargazing platform overlooking the labyrinth, can encourage tranquility and inspire creativity through meditation and wonderment. These are just a few of the features that the Healing Nature Center offers.

The Healing Nature Center provides therapists and alternative healers with additional ways to help their clients by incorporating nature into the services they already provide. Additionally, the Center offers retreat space, workshops, and Healing Nature Trail guided tours to the general public. Our Welcome Center features trail maps, healing books, woodland aromatherapy essential oils, and handouts on a variety of topics (including labyrinths, conscious breathing, and animal guides). In addition, the Welcome Center offers these items for Trail use: sitting mats, drums and rattles, art supplies, talismans, finger labyrinths, notebooks, and natural insect repellent.
