I Thrive Naturally

During the fall 2023 semester, I Thrive Naturally unfolded as a two-week initiative organized by NatureRx at UConn to boost scientific understanding of the benefits of spending time outside and to promote the many ways to engage with nature on the UConn Campus at Storrs. Whatever your comfort level or prior interest in the outdoors, I Thrive Naturally offered events, opportunities and inspiration designed to open your eyes to the ways that engaging with Nature will help you be healthier, happier and more attentive you.

Share your photos of you naturally thriving!

You can submit a photo by sharing your photos on your public-facing Instagram, tagging @uconnnaturerx and including #uconnthrivenaturally or via this form.  Photos and descriptions submitted via this form were posted on this website, so if you are not comfortable putting up a picture of yourself, then submit a picture of the nature you are near. 

What to do if you are on your own:

Sometimes we just want to relax outside on this beautiful campus alone or with a friend. There are a variety of opportunities and places outside of 'I Thrive Naturally' to enjoy the nature in and around UConn. Check out the buttons below for more information!
