About the Program
This program will offer a range of activities that introduce concepts of mindfulness, forest bathing, meditation, sensory awareness, solo sits, and artistic expression. The goal will be to empower participants to source their own inner strength and wisdom, by simply noticing what is happening NOW, and finding ways to accept what is. This program also aims to provide tools that participants can use whenever they are in need of them, to work through emotional and mental health struggles. The key ingredients are awareness and nature.
