SUMMARY:Nourishing Ourselves Through Nature: Wellness Through Feeder Watching and Finches are a Guide
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Woods Nature Center is excited to Partner with Matt Young’s Mindful Nature Expeditions to offer a series of 6 outdoor excursions between February and July of 2024. 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.

This style of observation invites reciprocity\, sit-spots and self-reflection\, journaling and exploration\, and an acknowledgment of our physical and emotional responses while we engage with the outdoors. \nThis is the first of 6 sessions which will be focused on “Wellness through feeder watching and finches are a guide.” \nRegister Now For Wellness Through Feeder Watching!\nMore Details: This program is designed for ages 18 and up. Space is limited\, online registration is required. To learn more about the overall program and guide Matt Young\, visit baltimorewoods.org/nourishing-ourselves-through-nature/
