What is Nature RX?
Nature RX is a series of wellness events presented by the San Antonio River Foundation, dedicated to sharing the healing power of nature with our community. These thoughtfully curated gatherings focus on nurturing the connection between mind, body, and spirit through the natural beauty of the San Antonio River and its surroundings.
Participants can engage in activities such as guided meditations, outdoor yoga, mindfulness walks, and nature-inspired workshops, all designed to offer a rejuvenating experience in the great outdoors.
Nature RX addresses health challenges by harnessing the proven benefits of time spent in nature. Through transformative programs at the serene Confluence Park, the San Antonio River Foundation fosters well-being, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
