COURSE DESCRIPTION
Why do we feel better after taking a walk, outside, in nature? How can we balance our circadian rhythms and reset them as we travel? Why are bird songs not only pleasant to listen to, but their songs also reassure us that it's going to be a good day? Not surprisingly, doctors are writing prescriptions for patients to walk in nature. We are all connected to nature in so many ways with direct implications for our health. Gain a better understanding of the positive effects of spending time in nature. Learn how we can take advantage of all of the health-affirming aspects that nature has to offer.
