Service Description

How can we keep our bodies and minds healthy? How can we keep the Earth healthy? How are nature, art and yoga connected? We’ll explore these questions and more this summer at the Mindfulnest Nature & Nurture camp! Join Ms. Shannon and her counselors for a week creativity and movement based around the themes of nature and caring for our environment. We’ll learn about artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Smithson, and we’ll explore our surrounding outdoor areas to create nature-based artwork of our own. Of course, we’ll also stretch our bodies and minds with poses, meditation and breath-work that tie into our nature theme. And as always, I will weave in plenty of books and music, and hopefully a service project too! Camp will be held indoors and outdoors at the Vienna Moose Lodge. We will also take field trips to Nottoway park-directly across the street for yoga & nature hikes and exploration, so make sure to bring comfortable shoes! Campers should bring outdoor shoes, water, snacks, and a mat. If you don't have access to a mat, I can provide one. Children should be able to use the restroom alone, go on mini-hikes, and follow multi-step directions. Email me at sbagniel@yahoo.com with questions!
