Join Severn River Association and speaker Jamie Testa (Scientist with UMCES) to learn why we often feel calmer, clearer, and more connected near water.

Drawing on Blue Mind Theory, neuroscience, and nature-informed therapy, this engaging presentation explores how nature, especially oceans, rivers, lakes, and even everyday encounters with water, can reduce stress, restore attention, regulate the nervous system, and deepen well-being. Participants will leave with practical, accessible ways to bring water's healing qualities into their personal lives and professional work.
