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.
