Learn to be more in the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety with evidenced-based practices that create better health, foster more joy and creativity, and help us come closer to the reciprocity we have with nature.
We all need to have internal tools to help us build and maintain mind-body resilience and joy for our health and to share our best selves with the world. Many of us also yearn to feel closer to nature and better appreciate the reciprocity we share with it.
For both beginners and for those wishing to refresh their skills, local mindfulness meditation teacher, author and artist Cathy Sacco will explore nature-based mindfulness practices that can be incorporated into your everyday life. She'll also discuss stress physiology, the role of the senses and the benefits of self-compassion and gratitude. You'll also have the chance to experiment with guided meditation, gentle mindful movement, observation and art in nature and learn how to build a home practice right for you.
