Healing Through Nature
Many of us may feel we live an enriched and healthy life style without really knowing how nature deprived we really are! Especially in a world that is now rapidly changing, it is ever so important for us to go outside! Recent studies have shown that outdoor spaces are a remedy for physical and psychological health. Research from around the globe is finding that people who live around green spaces have lower anxiety levels and fewer health complications. This week we will take full advantage of a free prescription called NATURE! Students will participate in mindfulness nature hikes, become attuned with their senses while fishing and most importantly feel connected to the natural world. Students will practice malama aina by sowing seeds, turning compost and planting starters. Join us as we find the healing powers of nature that are less seen and more felt!
