“If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you’re still in a bad mood, go for another walk.” ~Hippocrates

 

Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (also known as “the father of medicine”) knew that walking could do wonders for people’s mental well-being.

​

Today science has proven that a brisk walk for 30 minutes three times a week can: 

• Relieve stress and boost stress-relieving endorphins

• Reduce anxiety and depression

• Increase energy and mental alertness

• Reduce fatigue

• Improve sleep

• Boost interest in sex

 

Join us on April 7 to discover some innovative – and maybe surprising – ways walking can make you feel better emotionally, spiritually and mentally. We'll explore:

• How to get the most mental health benefits from your walk

• How to add walking meditation to your daily life

• The art of labyrinth walking, a practice that can quiet the mind and restore balance in your life

• The benefits of walking in nature (also called forest bathing!)
