Mindful Outdoor Experiences
What is a Mindful Outdoor Experience?
A Mindful Outdoor Experience is an interactive, nature-based experience that helps participants slow down and reset from the busy hustle of day-to-day tasks and connect to the wellbeing and creative power of nature.
These innovative, 1 to 4-hour experiences use a research-backed framework that includes an outdoor orientation, breathing practices, centering, connecting to the senses, sitting with nature, and a final council practice to reflect on shared learning.
