   *Please note that due to the nature of this practice, we cannot accommodate late arrivals. We do,    however, provide a five-minute grace period.
 

Location:
You are welcome to join this session from wherever you wish. Choose a quiet, safe, and familiar location.

• It can be outdoors: a park or trail open to the public (and following any local ordinances), your own backyard, patio or balcony.

• It can be indoors: inside your home, preferably a space where you can get some fresh air and where you have a view of the natural world (such as a potted plant or the sky outside a window.)

During the session:

• Practice group etiquette by keeping your audio on mute unless invited to share. In the bottom left corner of your screen, there is a little microphone icon. Click on it to mute or unmute yourself. 

• You may be invited to type into the Chat window what you are noticing. Find the Chat button and familiarize yourself with this feature in advance.

• Use headphones/earbuds but only have one side in your ear so that you can remain aware of your surroundings.

• Practice physical distancing, if necessary.

• To ensure the best experience for everyone, please pledge to participate fully during the entire virtual 75-minute session. Please give yourself this time and leave your texts, emails and social media behind by silencing your notifications on your device.

• If you are joining from home, you may enjoy a nature sounds video. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Nature Therapy: Relaxing Full Motion Forestry with Natural Sounds (30 min)

  • Forest birdsong (30 min)

  • Relaxing Nature Sounds (120 min)

 

WHAT TO WEAR and BRING:

For everyone:

• A fully charged phone or other device, and earbuds or headphones.

• Find one nature item in your home or outdoors. It can be a leaf, acorn, twig, rock, shell, seed, potted plant, etc.

• A cup of your favorite tea (or any other beverage) and perhaps a snack. We’ll partake in them at the end of the session.

For those venturing outdoors:

• Dress appropriately for the weather and the terrain, for moving slowly, and possibly for sitting on the ground.
