The slow-drip of constant stress inherent in global work culture is harming our bodily systems - Type 2 Diabetes tops the charts, along with obesity and heart disease. What causes stress? Long commutes; poor housing; poor neighborhood conditions, and poor workplace design; high demand/low control jobs; lack of access to retail, jobs, services, and now – COVID 19, major unemployment, and global recession.
Our environments and how we interact with them affect our quality of life. A solution currently on the vanguard is Shinrin Yoku, or Forest Bathing - the immersion into nature of teams and leadership for stress relief and creative inspiration.
During this webinar we will discuss our disconnection from nature, common stressors, and how an intentional, guided, and slow immersion practice within the woods has evidence-based, positive benefits for the mental, physical, and emotional health.
