Can we engage the living natural world to foster our ability to adapt and become resilient, to develop balanced listening and relating skills, and support a sense of empowerment for making better choices and intentions?
In this webinar participants will be guided to bring attention to their senses and thereby engage their entire body as they tend to plants, flowers, trees, and shrubs. This might include placings our hands in the soil to plant seedlings, thin new sprouts, or divide mature plants to keep them healthy and strong. Direct contact between our skin and the soil affects the microbiome (the cellular level of organisms) of both the plants and ourselves.
By tending to plants and flowers, whether with our hands or simply enjoying their scent and aesthetic, chemicals are released in our brain making us feel not only less stressed but also giving us a sense of connection and contentment. When we listen and orient ourselves to birdsong, we strengthen neural pathways that make us feel safer and less anxious.
This interactive webinar is open to anyone wanting to deepen their connection to nature as a resource for health.
