Why Nature
An invitation to slow down, awaken curiosity, and engage with the living world.
A growing body of medical research suggests that time in nature lowers blood pressure and cortisol, strengthens immune function, and enhances overall wellbeing.
The Nature Medicine Foundation empowers communities to reconnect with these healing powers, offering experiences that support wellbeing and cultivating leaders in nature-centered programming.
Our Work
Reciprocity
Give and receive in a living circle of care.
Reciprocity means giving and receiving in a living circle of care. Encouraged by the way the natural world supports one another within healthy ecosystems, we help human communities grow stronger by sharing resources, widening access, and nurturing relationships that benefit the whole.
No one is turned away for lack of means.
Supported and sliding-scale spots are available through our Reciprocity Fund.
Support access to nature for others, or find a supported place in our programs.
Our Impact
Expanding access to nature- centered wellbeing.
Through education, wellbeing programs, and the Reciprocity Fund, the Nature Medicine Foundation helps more people experience the healing power of nature.
With every individual we support and every guide we train, we widen the circle: enhancing overall wellbeing and cultivating leaders who make those experiences possible.
