Research has shown that being near, in, on or under water can provide a long list of benefits for our mind and body, including lowering stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts. This workshop will speak on such recent findings that support mental health in relationship with water as well as include a guided canoeing expedition down Deer Creek. We will spend at least 90 minutes on the water, experiencing the positive effect of water.
