Wellbeing Wednesdays: Eco Therapy: Balance in Your Life
Date: Wed, 03/22/2023 | Time: 12pm – 1pm | Location: Virtual – Zoom
Event Description
Autumn and spring both hold within an equinox marking the beginning of the season. During the equinox, the amount of daylight we experience is equal to the amount of dark. This is a built-in reminder to consider our own balance. This looks different for each person and can change depending on one’s life circumstances. Sometimes, it is helpful to look to nature for queues on when and how to assess and implement our own best version of balance.
Learning Objectives
- Discover how balance is vital to nature and the survival of species
- Gain skills for self-reflection inspired by the natural world
- Practice applying nature’s techniques for maintaining equilibrium to your own life
