Sylvotherapy (Shinrin-yoku) - this event has been postponed until 7/5

Physical Health: lower blood pressure, improved cardiovascular health, and stronger immune function. Cognitive Benefits: improve concentration, creativity, and problem-solving skills. This is partly due to the restorative effects of nature, which help the brain recover from mental fatigue. Social and Community: fosters social interaction, reduces loneliness, and strengthens community cohesion. Global perspective The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) highlights that biodiversity and ecosystem services, including access to natural environments, are essential for human well-being. Protecting and expanding green spaces is therefore a key policy recommendation for improving public health and resilience Join me for a meander through our green spaces. We will connect to nature with each of our senses, explore some mindful body movement and participate in the art of everyday living while we learn a thing or two about a thing or two in the process!
