🌿 Take a mindfulness walk and have a restorative morning in nature!
✨ Guided by Nature Rx advisor Dr. Denise Gibson, explore the mental health benefits of spending time outdoors and reconnecting with the natural world.
🌳 What is a mindfulness walk? Instead of focusing on steps or speed, this walk invites you to slow down and engage your senses. You may experience moments of silence, gentle breathwork, or activities that focus on one sense at a time.
Take this time to unplug, release daily stress, and simply be present in nature. 🌼🍃
📅 Date: Tuesday, June 9
⏰ Time: 9:00 a.m. –10:00 a.m.
✨ To register, see the Health & Wellness Events link in our profile!
