Presentation of the 'New Nature Movement'

Author Richard Louv will be speaking at 7 p.m. at Follen Church, 755 Massachusetts Avenue.

Author Richard Louv will be giving a talk on Friday on how to reconnect with the natural world. 

The event will be at 7 p.m. at  Follen Church, 755 Massachusetts Avenue. 

From the event post: 

"In his bestselling book Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv sparked a national debate that spawned an international movement to reconnect kids and nature and coined the term nature-deficit disorder. In The Nature Principle, Louv delivers another powerful call to action - this time for adults."

"Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv identifies seven basic concepts that can help us reshape our lives. By tapping into the restorative powers of nature, we can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds." 

"This encouraging and influential work offers renewed optimism while challenging us to rethink the way we live."
