The new science of how nature improves health, happiness and longevity.
Join us at the RSA and discover groundbreaking insights on how direct interactions with nature - seeing, smelling, and touching - can dramatically improve physical health. Learn how cedar boosts your immune system, pine scent calms your heart rate, and even a simple spider plant can enhance your gut health.

Whether you live in the city or the countryside, you’ll leave equipped with actionable strategies to harness nature’s power to transform your health and well-being.
