"Nature as Cure"
With Naturalist David Hawke
​
Do you find yourself feeling depressed at the endless anti-environmental antics of politicians and developers? You are not alone. However, this presentation asks us to collectively pause and take a moment to rediscover the beauty of Nature. It is indeed a changing world and we have to find ways to cope… perhaps a moment to reflect on the natural beauty of the out-of-doors will help.
