Metta Centre is delighted to invite Virginia Field, co-author of Nature Heals, to discuss about nature-based therapies and its role in our spiritual and physical wellbeing.

Ling Halbert will be sharing her own inspiring stories about how her clients have been nurtured by ecotherapy and Buddhism. Tina Ng will be facilitating the discussion as we explore the interplay between Buddhism, nature, wellbeing and health care, to deal with the stresses of modern life. We will discuss how nature heals, whether it’s in your garden, in your bushwalks or just watching the clouds float by above you. Copies of Nature Heals will be available for purchase at the event.
