Our featured speaker is Dr Dimity Williams, Author of "Nature, Our Medicine"
Dr Dimity Williams is a writer, nature lover, and family doctor. She has completed additional training in obstetrics, paediatrics and mental health, particularly mindfulness meditation.
Dimity has worked in environmental advocacy with multiple organisations. She is an alumna of the Centre for Sustainability Leadership, a co-founder of the Kids In Nature Network, and founder of Doctors for the Environment Australia’s Biodiversity Special Interest Group. Passionate about integrating nature into healthcare, she has written and spoken about the ‘nature: health interface’ in various forums and delights in issuing nature prescriptions.
Her first book, Nature, Our Medicine: How the natural world sustains us, is described by environmentalist Dr Bob Brown as "a life-changing proposition. It takes us through the rapids of our high-stress world to the calming balm of nature – Just like rafting the Franklin.”

Held on the second Sunday of each the month, to tie in with the wonderful Clunes Farmers and Makers Market in the morning, so plan for a lovely drive into town, catch the train, or stay the weekend! (https://www.clunesbooktown.org.au/stay-in-clunes/)
We throw open the doors of our lovely historic home of the Clunes Railway Station at 1:00pm, for a pre-loved book stall, with an author talk to follow at 2:00pm - so there is ample time to explore the market and grab a bite of lunch before hand.
Drinks available to buy throughout the author talk, along with networking opportunities afterwards.
