Nature Based Inner-Child Workshop for Parents
Reconnect with the wonder, play and authenticity of your inner child through the healing power of nature. This gentle and experiential workshop invites parents to explore nervous system regulation, somatic healing, mindfulness, and playful connection in the natural world. Through guided activities, reflection, movement, and nature-based practices, participants will deepen their connection to themselves, and they can show up more present and grounded for their families.
This is a free event with an optional donation-based community offering. All donations will be contributed to FOWA (Friends of Wayne Animals) Rescue
Facilitated by Yasmen Faraj, LCSW, CIMHP, owner of Kinda Crunchy Therapy in collaboration with Divine Earth Village. Children welcome with their parents.

Forest Explorers Homeschool Scouts Program
We are pausing this class for Spring Session as we have the beautiful opportunity to volunteer our time with Awakened Village working with the children on creation of a community garden. If you're interested in getting together a group of homeschoolers for nature classes or learning more about the community garden, please email us at divineearthvillage@proton.me.
We are all about community and would love to connect!
Our beloved homeschool program offers a blend of inspired learning and child-led experiences, designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture friendships. Children will leave with unforgettable memories from a day that strengthens their character, inspires their imagination, and connects them with nature. Activities include seasonal nature games, ample exploration time, and collaborative projects like creating nature guides, building forts, and engaging in mindful exercises to deepen their personal connection to nature. Our program is dedicated to outdoor learning in all weather conditions, with the belief that every type of weather presents opportunities for fun and discovery with the right clothing.
