Did you know that time spent in nature can improve both your mental and physical health? On behalf of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, CONNECT Summit County and Swaner are partnering to host a guided mindfulness meander on the Swaner Preserve.

Research has shown that mindfulness and time in nature enhance mental clarity, creativity, focus, and attention to detail in addition to reducing stress and stress-related illness. During this challenging time for our community, mindfulness can play a critical role—allowing us to embrace the healing power of nature. During the meander, we’ll take an easy 1.5 hour walk on the Preserve, engage in nature with a Swaner Naturalist, and participate in activities with mindfulness expert, Rebecca Brenner.

Rebecca Brenner, MA, is an author and mindfulness meditation teacher, speaker, and practitioner.

This event is presented in partnership with CONNECT Summit County.
