Finding Mindfulness Through Gardening
Community members are invited to join Healthy Acadia on Thursday, June 6, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., via Zoom for, "Mindfulness and Gardening," with special guest Jen Harry. The free online event is the latest installment in Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series.
During this hour-long session, Harry will delve into the parallels between gardening and life.

Through discussion, we'll explore mindfulness techniques inspired by the wisdom of nature, aiming to cultivate heightened awareness, acceptance, self-compassion, peace, and joy within the garden of our lives.
