EVENTS
Nature Immersion at Taft Gardens
The importance of our relationship to land, plants, and place is rooted in ancestral Indigenous Knowledge all over the world. Experience a slow, relaxing integrative mindfulness practice that honors this ancestral wisdom. You will be given directions, in the form of an invitation, to assist you in observing with all of your senses. It is a kind of “nervous system reset” that has the potential to remind us of the Interconnection of All Things and our relationship to the Earth. It’s not so much about knowing the names of all of the plants, as it is about noticing which plants you feel pulled to. It is more about being “here”, in the present moment, than it is about being “there”. Experience the holistic health benefits of Forest Bathing or Shinrin Yoku such as enhanced immunity, lowered blood pressure, lowered cortisol concentrations, increased focus, enhanced creativity, and more. Activate the parasympathetic nervous system to assist your body in engaging its own restorative processes. You are the medicine. Tú eres la medicina. The event ends with a ceremonial sharing of tea and some healthy snacks.
