Film Screening: "Nature's Path to Wellness"
2026-02-01 | ON
The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) was founded on and is guided by two core principles: conserving ecologically important lands and encouraging people to experience the healing power of nature. In today’s fast-paced, screen-focused society, many have become disconnected from nature — often at the expense of mental and emotional well-being.

In partnership with Pinegrove Productions, and with support from the Perth and District Community Foundation and MMLT individual donors, MMLT has produced a short video, Nature’s Path to Wellness.

Through real-life stories and experiences, the video explores how simply engaging with nature can start you down the path to wellness. It reveals how nature nurtures and rejuvenates, offering a free and accessible way to feel more balanced, emotionally resilient, and better able to care for yourself and others.

To mark the release of Nature’s Path to Wellness, you are invited to join those featured in the film for a screening and conversation. Attendees will have the opportunity to share stories, reflect on what nature means to them, and learn how small moments of nature connection — using all the senses — can be powerfully restorative.

“Nature’s Path to Wellness”
Studio Theatre Perth
63 Gore St E, Perth, ON

Sunday, February 1, 2026 at 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is requested through https://ticketsplease.ca

Trinity United Church Lenten Study Group
2026-02-24 13:00 - 2026-03-26 14:30 | Trinity United Church, Ottawa, 1099 Maitland Ave, Ottawa, ON
Give us this day our daily bread.
Hunger is inevitable in this world. Christ knows that his followers will always remain hungry until all are fed. Perhaps this is why Christ comes to us as the bread of life, and Christ’s followers gather around a table.
This devotional invites you to reflect on food and hunger as a spiritual practice. What do you hunger for? What feeds your soul? How do you feed others? Every meal and every table can provide an opportunity to grow in faith
