Scientific studies show that nature plays an important role in enhancing our creativity, compassion and joy. In this Half-day workshop we will explore how the ABCs (Awareness, Belonging and Compassion) have a positive impact in reducing stress, anxiety and lifting our spirits.
As a participant you will experience ways of slowing down and relaxing through guided meditations and engage in activities that stimulate your awareness, belonging, caring. You will practice being in the present moment and reducing your stress level by using your five senses in nature.
Bring a box lunch if you wish to stay after the workshop and eat with the other participants.
Session Outcomes:
1. Participants will explore the role of the ABC’s (Awareness, Belonging and Compassion) in increasing their well-being
2. Participants will use their five senses to become more keenly aware of the present moment.
3. Participants will have a better understanding of the role of nature in reducing stress and promoting happiness, creativity, and compassion
