Nature, Health, and the Human Spirit

The natural world has inspired humanity for the duration of our history. 35,000 year old paintings in near-forgotten caves depict rhinoceros and horses, while 21st century musical artists incorporate the sounds of birds, wind, and rain. Religious traditions celebrate and derive meaning from the natural world, while the lens of science focuses squarely on observing and understanding natural phenomenon. While the modern world often creates a rift between us and nature, we know its significance when we watch a sunset, listen to the wind in the trees, or become entranced by the buzz of cicadas on a hot summer night.

Join us, in partnership with Houston Audubon, for an evening of stories and exploration as we consider together how the natural world is intimately connected with the breadth of human experience, including physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

This event will feature a framing discussion led by Stuart Nelson, ISH’s Vice President, several powerful stories, and an interactive experience featuring raptors from Houston Audubon’s Raptor Education Center.
