Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA led by Holly Merker

This workshop will help you learn the practice of Ornitherapy, which focuses on mindful birding. Holly Merker, lead author of Ornitherapy: for Your Mind, Body, and Soul, will begin with an opening presentation explaining the concept of Ornitherapy, and how and why birds and nature help promote overall wellbeing.

– Through guided instruction, we’ll learn simple mindfulness exercises to engage our sensory awareness while tuning into the birds and natural world surrounding us.
– We’ll used focused “Ornitherapy Explorations”  using techniques and prompts in a gently guided walk and sit spot, enhancing ID skills and focused on surrounding birdlife, while  promoting quality versus quantity of the experience
– Journaling practice – participants will use their Ornitherapy Journals (provided with program) to increase observation and awareness
– Debriefing our experiences in a group sharing exercise to inspire each other through our collective observations.
