The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) was founded on and is guided by two core principles: conserving ecologically important lands and encouraging people to experience the healing power of nature. In today’s fast-paced, screen-focused society, many have become disconnected from nature — often at the expense of mental and emotional wellbeing.
In partnership with Pinegrove Productions, and with support from the Perth and District Community Foundation and MMLT individual donors, MMLT has produced a short video entitled Nature’s Path to Wellness.
Through real-life stories and experiences, the video explores how simply engaging with nature can start you down the path to wellness. It reveals how nature nurtures and rejuvenates, offering a free and accessible way to feel more balanced, emotionally resilient, and better able to care for yourself and others.
To mark its release, the public is invited to join those featured in the film for a screening and conversation. Attendees will have the opportunity to share stories, reflect on what nature means to them, and learn how small moments of nature connection — using all the senses — can be powerfully restorative.
The screening takes place on Sunday, February 1 from 2–4pm at Studio Theatre Perth, which is located at 63 Gore St. E. There is no charge to attend, but registration is requested via TicketsPlease.ca. For further information, please contact Mary Vandenhoff at vandenhoff@bell.net or 278–2939.
