SUMMARY:In Color Birding Book Club: Better Living through Birding
DESCRIPTION:Join our partners In Color Birding Club for their next Book Club gathering\, where bird joy meets storytelling. \nOn Wednesday\, September 16th\, we will come together at the Parkway Central Library to dive into Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World by Christian Cooper. Mr. Cooper weaves us through his unique life “leading up to the now-infamous incident in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him\, in the most uncanny of ways\, to be a gay\, Black man in America today.” \nThis will not be a lecture. It is a conversation. We will spend about 90 minutes reflecting on what moved us\, what challenged us\, and what we are still sitting with. Whether you finished the book\, started it\, or are just curious\, you are welcome here. \nLike all of our gatherings\, this space is rooted in community\, curiosity\, and connection. Come as you are. Bring your thoughts\, your questions\, your perspectives\, or just come to listen. \nFree to attend\, RSVP at link below. \nNeed a copy of the book? You can borrow it through the Free Library or Libby\, grab one from your local bookstore\, or use Bookshop.org or Libro.fm; if cost is a barrier\, In Color Birding Club has you covered. \nThe space is fully accessible\, with elevator access and restrooms on the same floor. Easy to reach by SEPTA\, and parking support is available. \nCome build something new with us\, a space for stories\, reflection\, and community. \n		\n			register here

SUMMARY:Mindful Birding
DESCRIPTION:Mindful birding combines observing birds with mindfulness techniques\, creating a practice that incorporates heightened awareness. Labeling or identifying birds is not the primary focus. Instead\, the intention is to slow down and notice the world around us\, using birds as our guides. During this guided experience\, you’ll practice simple mindfulness exercises to engage sensory awareness while intentionally tuning into the birds surrounding you.   \nTechniques and prompts accompany this gently guided walk and/or “sit spot” experience\, which strive to enhance our observation skills\, promoting a deepening of our experiences with birds around us. This in turn amplifies the multitude of benefits birds provide to our overall wellbeing. Participants will also be provided “Ornitherapy Journals” and select prompts to increase observation and awareness and provide a takeaway from the experience.    \nNo prior experience with birds or mindfulness practice are necessary to attend.    \nThe benefits of mindful birding:   \n\nEnjoy a reprieve from life stressors and pressures.  \n\n\nStimulate and promote a more positive overall wellbeing\, mind and body.  \n\n\nGain enhanced sensory awareness (sight\, sound\, smell\, touch).  \n\n\nBetter understand birdlife through intentional observation.  \n\n\nEnhance \observation skills\, in turn building a stronger foundation for overall bird identification.  \n\n\nIncrease self-reflection through birds and the natural world.  \n\nabout the instructor   \nHolly Merker has a background in art therapy but\, today\, connects nature and birds to achieve the same result of mental\, physical\, and emotional wellbeing through her work in nature-based wellness practices. As an award-winning author\, mindful birding leader\, wellness counselor\, mindfulness mentor\, podcaster\, certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide (ANFT)\, and Forest Therapy Practitioner (FT Hub)\, Holly offers gently guided experiences that incorporate accessibility and for all skill levels\, which are designed to be welcoming and inclusive to all people. Learn more here.
