TEAM NATURESPACE & THE RETREAT AT GREGORY RIDGE

Clement Waters stewards the Retreat at Gregory Ridge as a place for nature-based reflection, walking, and guided experiences. Through Team Naturespace, volunteers and staff care for this single, named landscape so it remains safe, welcoming, and supportive of restorative use. This site serves as a demonstration space for respectful land care and offers nearby residents a maintained walking environment that supports wellbeing through regular access to nature.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The purpose that lies within every one of our programs is to CELEBRATE the CONSCIOUS DISCOVERY made possible in NATURE'S HEALING SPACES.

We do this so as to create a sure sense of PURPOSEFUL, UNIVERSAL BELONGING in all participants; and so as to support EMERGING, LOCALIZED RESTORATIVE EMPOWERMENT efforts.

Because self-beliefs of empowerment and universal belonging support the PREVENTIVE AND REACTIVE HEALTH measures FREELY AND READILY PROVIDED by nature.

Our program planning process fully considers SCIENTIFIC GUIDANCE, and RATIONAL CONSIDERATION from MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES.

"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another."

Mohandas Ghandi

"We need to shift toward protecting and healing ecosystems on every level, especially the local. On a cultural level, we need to reintegrate human life with the rest of life, and bring ecological principles to bear on social healing."

Christopher Einstein (2018). "Climate: A New Story"

"The relationship we have with everything that Earth offers, it's about reciprocity. That's the only way we are going to learn how to shift our culture from an extraction culture to a balanced and harmonious culture with the land."
