An Evening with Florence Williams, Author of “The Nature Fix”

As part of Overton Park Conservancy’s NatureZen Week, journalist and author Florence Williams will discuss compelling findings outlined in her book, The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative. Nature serves as a welcome reprieve from the demands and constant stimuli of modern life, especially important for diverse communities and building healthy cities. She explores what current research indicates about the myriad health benefits of the great outdoors. What do these findings broadly mean for a society that is increasingly disconnected from nature, and what can we do about it?

Tickets include reception, talk, and book signing.
