Led by Holly Merker

Location: West Hollywood, California

Join author, birding guide, and nature-based wellness provider, Holly Merker, as she shares how, and why, watching birds benefits our bodies and minds through Mindful Birding. Research shows that exposure to nature actively reduces stress, depression, and anxiety, while helping build a stronger heart and immune system. Birds are gateways into deeper experiences with nature, magnifying these benefits. Through observation, we can learn not only about birds, but gain insight into our own lives while exploring our connection to the world around us.

A raffle for a copy of Holly’s book, Ornitherapy: For Your Mind, Body and Soul, will take place during the event.
