Intoxicating Walking Lectures
Join AJ, Adi, and Sofi at a 90 minute group WalkShop. Experience the intoxicating synergy of fresh air, movement, therapy pups, and reflective discourse.
What the heck is a WalkShop? In its simplest terms, a WalkShop can be thought of as a workshop conducted through walking in an organic and dynamic manner. The value of both using the outdoors and walking as a way to stimulate reflective thinking have been appreciated and documented in various fields for some time. There has been a long association between the practices of walking and philosophy, first recorded in writing as early as Aristotle’s (384–322 BC) Peripatetic School and the walking scholars. The term "Peripatetic" means "of walking" or "given to walking about”.
Benefits of Walking in Nature and Urban Green Spaces: NIH research shows that nature walks improve mental health. Nature reduces inflammation and prevents many diseases by boosting immunity. According to the American Psychological Association (2020), even urban parks and trees can lead to positive outcomes. Neale et al. (2022) recent study on the impact of urban walking on psychophysiological wellbeing showed the benefits to psychophysiological wellbeing from walking in urban green spaces.
According to Koselka et al. (2019), walking in green spaces can be a cost effective way to improve mental wellbeing. In addition to reducing stress, anxiety, and improving mood for those experiencing the wear and tear of everyday life, physical activity in greenspace may also provide an important adjunct therapy to clinical therapies. These results support the development of evidence-based recommendations for Nature Rx to encourage people to be physically active in nature and greenspaces.
