SUMMARY:Walk with a Doc
DESCRIPTION:Walk with a Doc\nThursday\, April 17. 10 – 11:30am \nDo you live in a world that contributes to stress and “dis-ease”? \nJoin us to experience an all-in-one prescription for a healthier and happier life! \nExperience the combined power of physical activity\, health education\, social connection\, and the healing magic of nature by joining our Walk with a Doc program. \nEach walk begins with a short discussion of the latest evidence-based lifestyle approaches to the prevention of chronic diseases and the enhancement of the healthiest lifespan. \nFor the remainder of the walk\, you will stroll at your own pace while having the opportunity to connect with others in a relaxing and beautiful forest environment. There will be ample time to interact with the doctor to get your general lifestyle questions answered. \nWalk with a Doc does not require any special gear or experience\, and is safe\, fun\, and FREE. The success of the Walk with a Doc program to inspire communities through movement and conversation in nature can be measured by the fact that the program boasts 560+ chapters in 49 states and 30+ countries around the world! \nGroup meets in Fall Creek and we will be walking approximately 1.5 miles on a trail that is mostly level or gently sloping\, with one brief\, moderately steep section near the trailhead. Note that there are no restrooms in this park. \nGroup size is limited\, and advanced registration is required. Those who register will receive more detailed information and directions via email. \nNOTE: Walk with a Doc includes general information relating to the benefits of lifestyle as medicine and does not include specific medical advice.  Information provided is meant to supplement rather than replace the diagnostic expertise and medical advice or your personal physician.

SUMMARY:Parent Nest: A guided Play and Connection Series
DESCRIPTION:Parent Nest: A guided play and connection series\nFridays\, April 7 – 28\, 9:15 – 10am \nIf those early parenting days feel like a mix of wonder and worry\, you’re not alone. Between those middle-of-the-night feeds and milestone questions\, it’s natural to feel both overwhelmed and amazed—sometimes in the same moment. While you’re marveling at your little one’s daily discoveries\, you might also be wondering if you’re doing enough\, or wishing for a community that truly gets what this journey is like. That’s exactly why we created The Parent Nest: A guided play & connection series \nCreated specifically for infants and toddlers (from sitting age to 18 months)\, this four-week series takes place in the serene morning hours before the museum opens. In this distraction-free setting\, your little explorer can safely investigate their world while you connect with other parents who understand exactly what this stage of life is like. \nEach 45-minute session nurtures your child’s natural development through research-backed activities that: \n\nBuild Neural Pathways Through Movement: As babies roll\, crawl\, and reach\, they’re not just exercising—they’re forming crucial brain connections that support physical coordination and spatial awareness.\nDevelop Pre-Language Skills: Our musical activities introduce rhythm\, repetition\, and simple signs\, laying the groundwork for communication long before first words appear.\nEnhance Sensory Processing: From our “Farm-to-Field” exploration to “Messy Magic” play\, each tactile experience helps your little one understand their world through touch\, sight\, sound\, and movement.\nFoster Social-Emotional Growth: Through guided interactions\, babies learn early social cues while parents discover ways to support emotional development during daily routines.\n\nWeek by week\, we’ll explore: \n\n Rolling & Reaching – Watch your baby’s confidence grow as they master new movements through guided floor play and gentle challenges.\nMusical Conversations – Experience how rhythm and melody spark your baby’s earliest attempts at communication and social interaction.\nFarm-to-Field Discovery – Engage your little one’s senses with natural materials and textures that expand their understanding of the world.\nMessy Magic Exploration – Delight in watching your child’s creativity bloom through safe\, sensory-rich play experiences.\n\nWhile the children are engaged\, we will take time to observe\, connect\, and support one another—building meaningful friendships and a strong community of parents and caregivers. Our experienced facilitators provide a welcoming space for sharing experiences\, gaining insights\, and offering practical tips to support your child’s development at home. \nFree for members! Registration required \nFree Children Under 12 Months \n$35/Per Person- Non-members (We will email you a link to pay)
