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 Caring) 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.
