History

Biophilia

NatureWorkshop was founded from a belief in the deep and profound human connection to the natural world...from the observation that when we listen to the wisdom of nature in our bodies, minds, and surroundings, we all thrive...from the knowledge that most of our modern challenges are caused by not honoring the first two principles.

consilience

While many have noted the emotional, physical, social, and sustainable benefits of engagement with nature, NatureWorkshop turns this idea on its head and proposes that modern problems such as loneliness, mental illness, obesity, addictions, economic disparity, conflict, materialism, and environmental loss are actually caused by our individual and collective disconnection from nature. Specifically, when we are alienated from nature we do not know our own nature. To (re)connect with the natural world in our bodies, minds, and souls is nothing short of revolutionary. We use the concept of Consilience, the linking together of principles from different disciplines in forming a comprehensive system that we refer to as THrIVES (The Health Indicators for Vitality, Equity, and Sustainability).
