Everyday stresses impact our health both mentally and physically but most of us find it difficult to change our hectic lifestyles or even make time or routine for mindfulness. The benefit nature provides has been scientifically proven with research showing that spending time connecting with nature can reduce high blood pressure and lower heart rates, cortisol levels plus boost the immune system and increase feelings of wellbeing and wellness. Nature offers a unique therapy that gives us the opportunity to slow us down, deepen our connection to the earth and heighten the senses.

We walk slow and offer invitations to enhance connection with nature covering maybe 1 km in total over a 2-hour session.
Here are the details:

• Date: Thursday 7 October, 4.30 pm - 6.30 pm
• Cost: $6.36 (Includes booking fee) includes a certified Nature Therapy Guide & post-session refreshments
• Time frame & distance: 1.5 hours / 1km max – this is a slow down experience – minimal fitness is needed
• The nitty-gritty:
  • Dress for the weather
  • Bring a full water bottle
