About this Event
Author Event with Mary Rothwell
Spend the evening with us as we explore the various ways we resemble plants and how our environment and care matter to our general well-being.
In Nature Knows: Grow and Thrive through the Wisdom of Plants, licensed therapist and certified forest therapy practitioner Mary Rothwell invites you to stop trying to "fix" yourself-and start understanding yourself.
Drawing from decades of counseling adults and a lifelong devotion to observing plant life, Mary introduces the concept of Essential Nature: the unique combination of needs, rhythms, sensitivities, and strengths that shape how each of us is meant to grow.
Plants do not apologize for needing sun. They do not bloom year-round. They do not thrive in soil that starves them. Neither do we.
Through eight grounding elements of plant life-climate, light, roots, blooming, pollination, dormancy, disease, and pests-you'll discover how to:
- Recognize environments that nourish (or deplete) you
- Set boundaries without guilt
- Manage energy instead of pushing through exhaustion
- Honor your natural cycles of growth and rest
- Reframe stress and struggle as signals, not flaws
- Share your gifts without shrinking
If you've ever sensed you were meant for a softer, truer way of living-but didn't know how to claim it-Nature Knows is your invitation to grow differently.
Mary will use real plants as examples during this interactive, fun event! Grab a signed copy of "Nature Knows" that evening to reference later. Light refreshments will be served at the event. We can't wait to see you there!
