Join Dr. Bill Hammond for an Evening of Transformation: How Nature Heals and Empowers Us All
This Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM, Dr. Bill Hammond invites you to a transformative experience in the Nature Speaker Series at Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium. Dr. Hammond will share an interactive, graphic-rich presentation focused on how Nature serves as a powerful medium for dissolving fear, doubt, and uncertainty—whether in our personal lives, relationships, or work, particularly during these times of rapid global change.
In this engaging session, Dr. Hammond will explore the deep connection between humans and the natural world, offering practical tools, exemplars, and actions that anyone can take—no matter where they are or what their background might be. The evening will feature real-life experiences that help unlock the power of nature as a healing tool and a catalyst for personal transformation.
You’ll also dive into the underlying theories behind how these practices work, making them accessible to people of all ages and genders. With an emphasis on empowerment, Dr. Hammond will inspire you to realize that you have the ability to create change in your life and your community, starting from within.
It’s not just about nature; it’s about nurturing yourself while you nurture nature. This is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, contribute your insights, and be part of a lively community conversation.
Come ready to have some fun, explore meaningful practices, and be inspired by nature’s healing power.
Don’t miss this chance to reconnect with nature and yourself!

Nurture Nature Campaign: Help Us Preserve Our Sanctuary
We’re excited with the success of our "Nurture Nature" Campaign in 2025, dedicated to improving CNCP’s facilities and educational programs. Your support will help us maintain essential infrastructure, repair boardwalks, preserve local wildlife, and expand our outreach efforts. This campaign is especially important as we work to create a deeper connection between local youth and the natural world—something that’s more vital than ever in an age where technology often pulls us away from nature.
