Led by Holly Merker in Newtown Square, PA

Hosted by the Willistown Conservation Trust at Rushton Farm in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Summer evenings offer soft light and beautiful soundscapes of birds and other nature. Come wind down your day with some Ornitherapy.

Through guided instruction, we'll practice simple mindfulness exercises to engage our sensory awareness while intentionally tuning into the birds surrounding us. Techniques and prompts called “Orntiherapy Explorations” accompany the gently guided walk and sit spots, which through observation enhances our identification skills, while promoting a deepening of our experiences with birds around us. This in turn amplifies the multitude of benefits birds provide to our overall wellness. Participants will be provided Ornitherapy Journals to increase observation and awareness and have a take-away from the experience to continue wherever they go.
