Join us for a stress-relieving Nature as Medicine session in the SSU Native Plant and Butterfly Garden. Led by Dr. Sarah Murphy, take a moment to enjoy a mellow, calm and tech-free immersion in nature. Studies on forest immersion experiences like this have demonstrated they decrease stress levels, anxiety, and increase mood, attention, feelings of connectedness and well-being, and even help boost the immune system. We hope the experience will help you feel refreshed, grounded, and mentally recharged!

“People of the West” Screening, Talk & Nature Walk

-
Two students sit and talk in the Wine Spectator Learning Center
Location: Wine Spectator Learning Center, Copeland Creek Corridor, Native Plant Garden

Join us for another "People of the West: An Indigenous History of California" episode screening then take some time to connect with each other and the outdoors. In "First Contact," we hear how before colonization, California was a world of ceremony, sovereignty, and sacred balance, then everything changed. Come explore how Indigenous worldviews reflect relationships to land, responsibility, and sovereignty, and analyze how first contact with Spanish explorers disrupted—but did not erase—Indigenous continuity. Following the presentation and discussion, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a gentle walk along the Copeland Creek Trail to the Native Plant Garden, where we can rest and reflect with nature!
