This is Jonathan at\u00a0the SEEDS Sustainability Program. This month we are collaborating with SOCI 420 students\u00a0in partnership with the Wellness Centre\u00a0to host a series of\u00a0Nature’s Prescription\u00a0<\/em>workshops.\u00a0Each of these opportunities provide a chance to engage in a non-academic activity to de-stress and relax, while also learning about a bridge between nature and\u00a0wellbeing.<\/p>\n

I am reaching out because some members of the\u00a0LFS\u00a0student community may be interested in joining. If you would like to share with your networks,\u00a0please find details of the opportunities below. Some include compensation for entry (such as\u00a0a raffle for a $50 gift-card). Others provide the opportunity to bring home the things\u00a0you\u00a0create. The opportunities run between March 9th and\u00a0March 13th.<\/p>\n

I have also attached visuals and fliers for four\u00a0of the opportunities if those materials are helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.\u00a0Thank you for your time and consideration!<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n

Experience Soundscape Workshop:\u00a0Reconnect with Nature in this Student Led Research Project<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Registration and Contact:\u00a0soundscape6@outlook.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants will meet at the MOA entrance and complete the ten minute Pre-Survey. We will walk down the steps to the west beach below MOA. At the beach participants will be engaged in several group and individual mindful exercises focusing on the sounds of nature around them. There will be a brief reflection and discussion of their experience after the activity. A ten minute Post Survey will be completed before returning to the MOA.<\/p>\n

Once registered by emailing, participants will receive the workshop primary information which will outline meeting date, time and place. Participants are asked to bring clothing appropriate for the weather. They will be asked to fill in surveys at the beginning and end of the workshop.<\/p>\n
