LNCI Continuing Discussion Topic: How to incorporate nature indoors in school and/or home settings

As promised, once a week we will send out either a breakout group topic or one of the Storycorp-style videos to share with everyone. For the breakout group topics, we will start a discussion in our Facebook Group and if you have ideas to share, whether you were in that breakout group at the summit or not.

So please come join our Facebook Group and ask questions or share about the topic below:
