Overview

  • Group size40 people

Join us for a special screening of Our Nature Connection, a powerful short film series highlighting REI Fund grantees whose work reminds us that we are not separate from nature but deeply connected to it. Through inspiring stories from communities across the country, these films explore how meaningful connections to the natural world can support health, well-being, resilience, and a stronger sense of belonging. Together, The Redford Center and REI Fund celebrate the people and organizations helping more communities experience the transformative power of nature. Whether you're passionate about conservation, community impact, or the outdoors, we invite you to join us for an evening of storytelling, reflection, and connection.

Notes

Arrive early to connect with local organizations advancing the connection between people, health, and the outdoors. Before the screening, guests are invited to visit with community partners from Conestee Nature Preserve, The Palmetto Grotto and the Nature’s Message for Health Hub (SC’s Nature and Health Alliance Chapter) for a casual meet-and-greet and tabling session. Learn about their programs, upcoming opportunities, and the important work they're doing to build stronger connections between our community and the natural world. We will also have representatives from the National Nature and Health Alliance, featured within the films, for a meet-and-greet. Throughout the evening, special guests from these organizations will help facilitate discussion around the films, offering local perspectives and insights that bring the stories on screen closer to home. Their experiences in conservation, outdoor education, community engagement, and nature-based wellbeing will help deepen the conversation and create opportunities for meaningful reflection and dialogue. Come early to meet our community partners, explore ways to get involved, and join the conversation as we celebrate the transformative power of nature together! 6:30-7:00 PM | Community Meet & Greet & Refreshments 7:00-8:30 PM | Film Screening & Community Conversation Resources: Conestee Nature Preserve https://www.conesteepreserve.org/ Palmetto Grotto https://palmettogrotto.org/ Nature's Message for Health Hub https://www.naturesmessageforhealth.org/home Nature and Health Alliance https://www.natureandhealthalliance.org/
