Preconference Workshop

The Nature of Wellness^TM: Step Outside for a Healthier Inside
Sunday, February 22
8:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m. (includes breakfast)

Throughout history, cultures around the world have turned to nature as a source of increased health and well-being. The natural world was our first teacher, our first physician, our first health and wellness coach, our first social gathering place, and our first spiritual leader. A growing body of evidence, across various fields of study, indicates that increased exposure to natural environments is associated with improvements in multiple dimensions of wellness. This workshop (a blend of indoor and outdoor experiences) will address many of the different health benefits, current research and practical interactions with the natural world.
