SUMMARY:First Friday Fono
DESCRIPTION:Join us for First Friday Fono. In these monthly meetings we will be discussing many of the legends of the Pacific Islands and other important subjects. \nOur discussions take place around a bowl of kava. Kava is a non alcoholic drink consumed throughout the Pacific in ceremonial and social settings. It is made from the roots of the piper methysticum plant. It can bring relief to anxiety\, mood swings and more. It is also known as the “drink of peace” because of it’s ability to relieve stress and reduce anxiety\, promotor relaxation\, and being mental clarity all without creating dependency. Because of these properties many difficult discussions could take place around a bowl of kava while still maintaining peace. \nThis program is being offered free of charge\, but if you have the means and are able to make a donation of any amount that is greatly appreciated. If your circumstances allow\, we recommend a donation of $5 or $10. All proceeds will go towards making this experience sustainable and any excess will go towards education and conservation at both the Nature Center at Pia Okwai and Tracy Aviary. \nIf you would like to donate to Tracy Aviary you can learn more here.\nOr you can venmo us here:

SUMMARY:Nature-based Mindfulness with Ian Napper
DESCRIPTION:Nature-based Mindfulness\, also known as Forest Bathing\, is a way of deeply communing with Nature. Slow down and unwind. Reconnect to wonder and awe. Breathe deep and create spacious relaxation with easy walking and breathing practices. You’ll be guided through gentle practices of grounding\, centering\, directed awareness\, and other experiential practices while we engage with the more-than-human-world. Expect short walking and some sitting on the ground. \nResearch-backed benefits include: reduced stress hormones\, lowered blood pressure\, boosted immunity\, greater rest from sleep\, and reduced attention fatigue. Other benefits have been described as: a profound sense of awe and connection to the living Earth\, a sense of deep peace\, and settling of the nervous system. Every session is custom and unique. \nResearch-backed benefits of a regular Forest Bathing practice include \n\nBoosted mood – reduced anxiety\, depression\, and loneliness\nReduced stress hormones – cortisol returning to the allostatic load baseline\nLowered blood pressure – boosts immune function\nReduced attention fatigue – boosts pro-social behavior\nImproved sleep over time\n\nOther benefits have been described as: a profound sense of awe and connection to the living Earth\, a sense of deep peace and settling of the nervous system\, profound gratitude\, and a space beyond words. \nGeneral Instructions: \nCheck the weather before and wear what you might want to be comfortable\, we will be outside the whole time\, layering is best. Please arrive 10 min early to park and find the group. \nThings you may want to bring: \n\nSturdy footwear\nWater bottle\nHat/sunglasses\nUmbrella\nJournal and pen\nWarm layer or shawl\nYour curiosity\n\n  \nTickets \nAdult: $20 \nChild: $15 \nPURCHASE TICKETS \n  \nIan Napper is an Army Veteran\, yoga instructor\, mindful outdoor guide\, small-group facilitator\, and university adjunct.

SUMMARY:First Friday Fono
DESCRIPTION:Join us for First Friday Fono. In these monthly meetings we will be discussing many of the legends of the Pacific Islands and other important subjects. \nOur discussions take place around a bowl of kava. Kava is a non alcoholic drink consumed throughout the Pacific in ceremonial and social settings. It is made from the roots of the piper methysticum plant. It can bring relief to anxiety\, mood swings and more. It is also known as the “drink of peace” because of it’s ability to relieve stress and reduce anxiety\, promotor relaxation\, and being mental clarity all without creating dependency. Because of these properties many difficult discussions could take place around a bowl of kava while still maintaining peace. \nThis program is being offered free of charge\, but if you have the means and are able to make a donation of any amount that is greatly appreciated. If your circumstances allow\, we recommend a donation of $5 or $10. All proceeds will go towards making this experience sustainable and any excess will go towards education and conservation at both the Nature Center at Pia Okwai and Tracy Aviary. \nIf you would like to donate to Tracy Aviary you can learn more here.\nOr you can venmo us here:
