Join us for an experiential afternoon of compassionate mind practice and nature connectedness.
In this afternoon workshop, we will be offering a chance for participants to engage in compassionate mind guided practice session followed by two hours of guided forest bathing. This format is inspired by the promising results from a recent research study conducted by Kirsten (who will lead the forest bathing session) and colleagues, in which participants showed "improvements in positive emotions, mood disturbance, rumination, nature connection and compassion and 57% of participants showed an increase in heart rate variability." (McEwan, et al, 2021)
Practices designed to develop your compassionate mind have repeatedly been shown to help us to better manage difficult emotions like shame, anxiety, and self-criticism, using evidence based practices and skills. Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku (Japanese for "taking in the forest atmosphere"), refers to the practice of mindful walking and spending time in nature among trees to improve physical and mental health, and now has a substantial evidence base that demonstrate numerous physiological and psychological effects.
