Pause and Wonder at Laguna Coast Wilderness

October 10 @ 8:00 am – 9:30 am

Take a few minutes to slow down and experience Laguna Coast Wilderness in a different way. Through simple guided observations and conversation, we’ll look closely, immerse ourselves in the landscape, listen deeply, and discover the connections that surround us every day.

In this accessible and stationary experience on the Nix Nature Center Patio, participants will explore how the ABCs of Nature (Awe, Belonging, and Contemplation) can come together to bring us closer to nature and one another.
