Matters of the Mind: How Time Outdoors Improves Our Mental Health

Matters of the Mind: How Time Outdoors Improves Our Mental Health
Join Family & Children's Service of Ithaca on Saturday, September 13, for lunch by Luna's, a talk with Don Rakow (former director of the Cornell Botanical Gardens and a forest therapy guide). After the talk, take a guided sensory walk around Stewart Park, join a seated meditation or explore nature with your kids -- a chance to put into practice what we've just learned!
Don will discuss his work on the importance of time in nature for our mental health, as well as some core practices we could all benefit from. This is a family-friendly event, so bring your kids and spend the afternoon in Stewart Park with Family & Children's Service of Ithaca!
Many thanks to our sponsors: Edward Abelson, Ph.D., Beginnings Credit Union, True Insurance, & Tompkins Financial.
