30a Nature Connection
Slow down, unplug, connect and breathe.
Offering a space for those stressed out, overwhelmed, and looking for a way to slow down, tune into the present and connect with nature and others.
A little about me
Hi, I’m Mary-Ann — nature lover, community builder, and the heart behind
30a Nature Connection. After more than three decades in the corporate world, I felt the need to slow down, reconnect with the natural world, and help others do the same.
With roots in a career supporting executives, organizing teams, and building community from the inside out — I felt a deeper calling emerge and I chose to follow the pull of the natural world and my passion about bringing people together.
30a Nature Connection is my offering to provide a space where we gather to walk slowly, listen deeply, write freely, and reconnect with ourselves through the rhythms of nature. These gatherings are for anyone seeking a deeper connection — to nature, to community, and most importantly, to the quiet voice within.
Whether you're local to 30a or simply passing through, you are welcome here.
Let’s wander together.

“A walk in the woods with Mary-Ann is a reconnection on all sides - both in myself, and in community. It’s an afternoon I look forward to, always presented with a dynamic glint to aide me in accessing a calmer nervous system. A particular delight is how Mary-Ann honors the land on which we tread, thanking all of her keepers. The experience feels deeply congruent, allowing me to remember I am a micro of the macro.” - Whitney Z
