During this relaxing learning experience that combines lecture, discussion, and gentle outdoor activities, discover the connections between nature and well-being in modern society—and gain the tools and knowledge you need to incorporate mindfulness into your time in the garden and in nature.

From the botanically based medicines of ancient civilizations, to the growth of horticultural therapy and the more recent Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, nature and well-being have always been intertwined in humanity’s story. While exploring this relationship, learn how gardens and natural spaces can aid in overall well-being.
