GROUNDED GARDENING
Connecting with nature provides many positive benefits to mental health including: decreasing stress, improving focus, and practicing self-care. Join the Student Counseling Center clinical staff in the campus garden to learn how to practice mindfulness while gardening. Included in this 3-week workshop, you’ll learn basic skills of mindfulness – focusing on the “here-and-now” breath-by-breath as you garden and allow yourself to be fully immersed in nature. Gardening activities will include focusing on pruning and beautifying the UIndy native plants garden. Gloves and all equipment will be provided.
