Video: How to Get Outside When You Can’t: Navigating Barriers to Healing in Nature
Presenter: Rachel Hunsell
Each day we are learning more and more about the vast benefits of healing our mind, body and spirit in nature from the positive physical impacts of exposure to sunshine and fresh air to the array of ecological metaphors that aid in our meaning-making process. Yet, rarely do you see the headlines narrating the actual voice in our grieving minds saying, “How am I supposed to even get out of bed, let alone get outside?” “Do I even have the right stuff to do this outdoor activity or even know how to get where I'm supposed to go?” “What do I even do when I go outside?” “I just don’t have the time to make this happen…” These questions continue to illuminate the many barriers we face to simply get outside, and when you add grief into the mix everything is amplified. In this webinar we will address a variety of physical, mental and emotional barriers to getting outside and explore tools to either lessen or eliminate completely the things that stand in our way of valuable time healing in nature.
