Fostering a Meaningful Connection to Nature

Connecting with nature is a great way to deal with stress, live more meaningfully and get to know the world around you. We will explore techniques from ecopsychology, forest bathing, and Zen meditation while enjoying the beautiful wild landscape around Santa Fe as we move into autumn. This is also an opportunity to learn how the places we live can influence our psychology and wellbeing. This course will take place at various outdoor locations around Santa Fe and involves meditation, easy walking, and sitting or lying down in nature, depending on your comfort. The walking terrain is easy and walking routes are less than 3 miles.
