Join us for a relaxed morning at Nichols Arboretum designed to support staff well-being through simple, restorative time in nature. This is a low-stakes, come-as-you-are kind of morning--set among the seasonal blooms of the W.E. Upjohn Peony Garden. Stay for one activity or move through the full experience at your own pace.

What to expect:

Grab-and-go breakfast, including items like make your own granola bowls and granola bars
Gentle, mindful movement sessions
Guided walks through the Arb, including highlights of seasonal interest areas
Additional pop-up wellness and connection activities, like live music, succulent planter decorating, and more

This event is part of Experience Rx: Social Prescribing at Michigan, an innovative cross-campus collaboration that invites the U-M community to engage in non-clinical experiences—such as the arts, movement, nature, service, and shared meals—to support overall well-being. By offering opportunities to gather and connect, Experience Rx aims to foster a vibrant, thriving campus culture where everyone belongs.
