Mindful Birding

Credit: Tony Nastase

Mindful Bird Walks connect people with the natural world. We use birds as our guides. We observe what is living around us. This is not a typical or traditional bird walk. We will not be identifying, labeling, or counting birds. Mindful Bird Walks combine observing birds with mindfulness techniques, creating a practice of awareness and a connection with nature using birds as our guides. We will learn several mindfulness methods you can use for your own practice. The intention of the walk is to slow down, engage our senses, be aware of the present moment, relax, and immerse ourselves in nature.
