Healthy Acadia invites community members to participate in a free virtual workshop, “Finding Mindfulness Through Gardening,” on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 5 to 6 p.m. via Zoom. The event, part of Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series, will feature special guest Jen Harry.

During this hour-long session, Harry will delve into the parallels between gardening and life. Participants will uncover the shared principles of gardening and mindfulness practices, exploring how they offer similar lessons. 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.
