Gardens

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in tune once more.
— John Burroughs, American naturalist and writer, (1837–1921)

The Healing Garden is a thoughtfully created environment that provides a variety of sensory experiences, and natural flora and fauna. 

How does this help?

• Immersion in nature helps to facilitate a connection to something outside the body — e.g., a sensory connection to nature
• Mindfully looking to nature invites an awareness of an environment bigger than “the diagnosis,” which can help clients regain a sense of perspective and control
