Community Dinner Featuring Dr. Sabine Thomas

Want to spend an evening in community with an interdisciplinary group of students, professionals, and retirees who are passionate about advancing health equity and access to nature? Want to enjoy a shared meal while learning about novel programs, policies, and research designed to get people outdoors and fully realizing the benefits of what nature has to offer? Then join us for a Nature and Health Community Dinner.

Our June 2, 2026 Community Dinner will feature a speed talk from Dr. Sabine Thomas. Sabine is co-owner of JSOL STUDIOS LLC, a family-wellness centered and nature-embodied organization dedicated to nurturing thriving ecosystems within families and organizations.

Her work is deeply informed by the principles of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health. Her most restorative moments are spent in and around nature.
