Also known as nature therapy, is a therapeutic practice that involves spending time in natural environments to enhance mental and emotional well-being. It combines elements of psychology and ecology, focusing on the healing benefits of nature.
Connecting with nature through activities like hiking, gardening, or simply sitting outdoors—can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while improving mood and overall mental health.
Parents/caregivers may take advantage, during the session, of the natural environment, by walking through the forest trails, reclining, reading, or painting by the pond, or, in the summer months, participating in a yoga class set in nature.
