Close up shot of flowers

Thu, Sep 17, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Location: SSU Native Plant and Butterfly Garden


Join us for a stress-relieving Nature as Medicine session in the SSU Native Plant and Butterfly Garden. Led by Dr. Sarah Murphy, take a moment to enjoy a mellow, calm and tech-free immersion in nature. Studies on forest immersion experiences like this have demonstrated they decrease stress levels, anxiety, and increase mood, attention, feelings of connectedness and well-being, and even help boost the immune system. We hope the experience will help you feel refreshed, grounded, and mentally recharged!
