Barb Patterson will be our speaker for our Evening meeting at 5:30 Wednesday at Sweetwater Brewery. Barbara is leader of the Mindful Birding group that wrote a Rotary-supported birding booklet for oncology patients. She’s a wonderful person, devoted, and great teacher.
Mindful birding is a powerful practice that combines the joys of birdwatching with the benefits of mindfulness. Exposure to nature is linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders, and even an increase in empathy and cooperation.
