How can we access natural anti-depressants to build robust minds and bodies?
At a time when our mental health might seem more threatened than ever, this will be an opportunity to discover and use basic scientific principles of nature and discover what they can do to heal and to teach us.
You will also have an opportunity to learn how to deepen your natural intuitive abilities to help you create what you love more effortlessly during these unpredictable times and beyond.
The session will begin with a guided mindful meditation session.
There will then be a talk on ‘How to access natural anti-depressants‘ in nature followed by an open discussion about creating new routines to support your mental health.
We will close with a guided intuitive meditation setting an intention to receive guidance on actions that you can take to help you create peace in your life.
