Lexington Community Education presents: The New Nature Movement and the End of Nature Deficit Disorder - An Evening with Richard Louv

In his bestselling book Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv sparked a national debate that spawned an international movement to reconnect kids and nature and coined the term nature-deficit disorder. In The Nature Principle, Louv delivers another powerful call to action - this time for adults.

Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv identifies seven basic concepts that can help us reshape our lives. By tapping into the restorative powers of nature, we can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds.  This encouraging and influential work offers renewed optimism while challenging us to rethink the way we live. 

Richard Louv is a journalist and author of eight books about the connections between family, nature and community. In 2008, he was awarded the Audubon Medal, presented by the National Audubon Society. Prior recipients have included Rachel Carson, E. O. Wilson and President Jimmy Carter. 

This evening's event is co-sponsored by The Wadorf School of Lexington.

The cost for this evening is $10.00.  Pre-registration is strongly recommended, using a MasterCard or VISA, by contacting Lexington Community Education at 781 862 8043
