Connecting with Nature
in Clyne Gardens

With the subject as “Connecting with Nature”

What we do:

The purpose of this group is to strengthen our connection to nature as we expand our senses, connect to our surroundings, ground and calm the body and let our minds rest.  Strengthening the senses by paying mindful attention to them enlivens the world and we notice the incredible beauty around us – the sound of a bird, the sight of a fungi, the smell of soil, the touch of a leaf.
Just two hours spent in a forest can lower cytokine levels in the blood, soothing inflammation, decrease anxiety and depression and increase happiness.
