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.
