The Wilderness at Your Doorstep with Laura Chávez Silverman
Laura Chávez Silverman helps people access the wild within and around them. As the founding naturalist of The Outside Institute, she teaches slow, intentional, and embodied ways of seeing and being in relation to the land, including foraging for edible and medicinal plants. Becoming native to a place, regardless of where you live, helps nurture an understanding of your connection (and responsibility) to not just the abstract notion of wilderness, but to the place you call home. Discover what it means to really live where you live, in touch with your true nature.

About CreativeMornings
In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg (Swissmiss) started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone.
Today, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. The growing archive of past breakfast talks is humbling. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme.
