Learning, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with nature

Join this experience in the Garden and learn to consciously tune into your senses—what you see, hear, feel, and smell—while gently quieting the mind.

Benefits of Mindfulness in nature:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Improves attention and clarity
  • Enhances emotional regulation
  • Strengthens the sense of connection to self, others, and the environment
  • Supports physical health by lowering blood pressure and cortisol

 

Does 30 Minutes of Mindfulness in Nature Have an Impact?

  • Yes—30 minutes is enough to create measurable benefits, such as:
  • Lower heart rate and blood pressure
  • Reduced levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
  • Improved mood and sense of calm
  • Sharpened mental focus
  • Boosted feelings of vitality and awe

 

Research shows even 10–20 minutes in nature can improve wellbeing; 30 minutes deepens that effect.
