SUMMARY:Nourishing Ourselves Through Nature: Orchids and Bog Walking in an Outdoor Playground
DESCRIPTION:This naturalist wellness class will combine observing nature with mindfulness\, creating a practice that incorporates a heightened sense of awareness\, both in ourselves and the environment around us. Labeling or identifying species is not the only focus\, but instead\, the intention is also to slow down and notice how to use nature\, including birds\, butterflies\, trees\, flowers\, and more as our guide. This style of observation invites self reflection and exploration\, reciprocity\, and an acknowledgment of our physical and emotional responses while we engage with the outdoors. \nJoin this class at Jam Pond and explore a bog!\nMore details: This program is designed for ages 18 and up. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required.
