Nature Break from the Mind Body Team for Community Care Day

Enjoy a nature break in the sunshine with expert Alexandra (Alex) Crowley, R.N., PMHNP-BC (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner from UHS), who is a mental health expert and certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy as a Forest Therapy Guide.
Participants can stay the first 15 mins for a quick "sensory tune up" with nature or join for the entire experience (~1 hour).

What is forest therapy? Forest Therapy is a practice that promotes well-being by immersing oneself in a calm and restorative environment (e.g. natural landscapes, forest, etc.). This is an opportunity to connect with nature and prioritize your own well-being. You will learn practical well-being strategies, along with gear to keep so you can continue the practices after the event! All aspects of the event are invitational, which means you can do as much or little as you feel comfortable with.

During this event, participants will spend time in nature that is intentional, unplugged, and integrates inclusive movement to prioritize multiple components of well-being. The event will include healthful snacks, mindfulness, social connectedness with peers, and opportunities for movement. Participants will be introduced to the benefits of forest therapy first hand, and be made aware of the research-based background.
