Hear about the redemptive and healing powers of the outdoors – Exploring the relationship of addiction recovery and nature at Tillamook Main Library on Wednesday February 11th at 5:30 pm. Sponsored by Oregon Humanities.
Outdoor and travel writer, photographer, and author Adam Sawyer shares a series of photos and essays that detail how time spent in the outdoors has aided in his recovery from not just addiction, but the sudden and devastating loss of his life partner and home in early 2022. Sharing personal insights and perspectives from time spent in places ranging from urban parks to Mother Nature’s grandest natural cathedrals, Sawyer’s hope is to help reveal the redemptive and healing powers of the outdoors.
