Unleash your Inner Child: Playfulness Exercises in Nature

Have you ever wondered why kids smile so much? Do you want to reconnect to your lighter, brighter self? Let's learn what happens to our inner child as we age and practice some fun exercises inspired and guided by the beautiful nature setting of Corvallis.  Meet in the Main Meeting Room, and we will be heading outside into Central Park.

Sabine Huemer, Professor of Practice at the OSU School of Psychological Science and Certified Forest Health Consultant, will talk about the health benefits of implementing playfulness exercises that involve nature or nature elements into your daily routine. After a brief introduction and presentation of evidence, the audience will actively participate in these exercises. No prior knowledge, special skills, or equipment required. This is a workshop for adults.
