In a climate that values curricula that is fast-paced, highly scheduled, and “teaches to the test” — providing children time to connect with nature and engage in self-reflection continues to be sacrificed.
Our bodies are naturally attuned to connect biochemically with natural settings, and nature-based therapy helps bring the body and mind back to its more optimal state...and does so in a fun, accessible, and novel manner that children welcome and enjoy!
Join Dr. Cheryl Fisher to examine the whole-body, whole-brain benefits found in nature-based activities. It offers a multisensory approach to bringing mindfulness, green space, and biodiversity into your clinical or academic setting.
Learn how engaging in nature can counter the negative effects of a skim, scan, scroll world and promote a calm and alert state. Windows optional!
This online program is worth 1.75 hours CPD.
