SUMMARY:The Necessity of Art and Artists in Times Like These: Artist Talk & Reception with Blake Nellis
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2026\, choreographer and photographer Blake Nellis and a team of artists spent a week at Silvae Spiritus Northwoods Nature Retreat in Finlayson\, Minnesota\, exploring the intersection of visual art\, movement\, creativity\, nature relation\, and community. \nJoin us at Silvae Spiritus Northwoods Nature Retreat on November 15th\, from 1-3 pm\, where we will talk about the power of community\, taking risks\, and being rejuvenated by nature.  We will discuss the process of making art with the human body\, how movement & play influence Nellis’ work\, and the power of time spent together. \nWhile here\, enjoy an informal gallery of new work and meet the artists that participated in the weeklong retreat at Silvae Spiritus: \nTalya Dozois \nLilia Fremling \nBecca Lawson \nSudarsna Mukund \nBlake Nellis \nDarrius Strong \nCarol Trindade \nTimo Wagner \nLight snacks & refreshments will be provided.  All are welcome. \nBlake Nellis is a fiscal year 2026 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Forest Bathing @ Dodge Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Join Leigha Horton of Silvae Spiritus Northwoods Nature Retreat\, certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs\, for a guided forest bathing experience under the full Beaver Moon!  \nForest bathing is a slow-moving\, deeply sensory\, mindful and “bodyful” walk in nature that has shown to result in measurable physiological\, cognitive\, and emotional benefits. Much like walking meditation or yoga\, these activities can be practiced on one’s own\, almost anywhere\, and yet the benefits greatly increase with regular practice. Forest bathing is significantly more immersive when facilitated by properly trained and certified guides—you’ll be guided by an expert through this program!   \nOver the course of this walk\, you will be given a series of invitations and suggested ways to connect to your natural surroundings. This experience will be mostly silent except for optional light sharing of reflections between invitations\, honors each participant’s autonomy\, and radiates in and out from a central bonfire.  The walk concludes with tea. \nAdvanced registration via Dodge Nature Center required.
