Guided Ecotherapy Walk
Activity Details
Ecotherapy is the healing and nourishing effect of being in nature. Science is catching up with this free, age-old practice of looking to nature for improved health and wellness.
Learn how to deeply experience nature and build your mindfulness muscle on this slow wander and reap the mind and body benefits.
Your ecotherapy guide, Sarah Freeman, will take you on a mindful wander through nature to help you connect with yourself, your senses and the natural world around you.
Our ecotherapy walks take place every second Wednesday morning at 10 am at Irrawong Falls.
During the activity there will be periods of silent mindful walking to practice connection with nature and opportunities to reflect on and share your experiences.
