Faculty, staff and students are invited to join “A Breath of Fresh Air,” a unique and energizing nature break Dec. 3.

This event focuses on the positive effects of being in nature on a person’s social and emotional well-being. Participants will learn how to practice mindful attention and appreciation for the natural environment, refresh energy and reduce stress by being outside, and use the Nature Rx resources in the Michigan App to find nearby nature spots for taking breaks, restoring and for mental and physical health.

Sessions include a variety of activities and options to support the nature experience. Participants will learn how to appreciate nature in all its forms; this session will be held rain, snow or shine.

To attend the “Breath of Fresh Air” session from noon-12:45 p.m. Dec. 3, participants must complete the required registration form. The group will meet on North Campus near the Lurie Carillon (Robert H. Lurie Bell Tower) and the College of Engineering.
