ABC NOTICE BOARD: The benefits of being outside with nature.

Solo Days.

The benefits of being out with nature and the abundance of flora and fauna and nature arrives if we allow our selves to be in the present.

Our mindfulness meditation and conservation Solo days will allow you to participate in this stilling of the mind.

Time and Space.

For calm and true reflection, contemplation and Introspection seeing nature with flora and fauna and also the local wildlife that is fulfilling and that's why Bird watching is a very meditative activity.
Birders spend lots of time in the quiet of the great outdoors without the easy indulgence of distractions.

Bird watching is a great opportunity to reflect on your life or to just zone out and think calming thoughts. Meditation has been shown to slow the decay of your brain’s grey matter, which happens naturally as we age.

Assessing the great outdoors by yourself or with others for a Solo Day would be a valuable use of your resources and could promote team building. Getting out into the fresh air which is great for the mind, body, and soul, is a good building block for you to future proof your own life and to take an inventory of your life's decisions.

Keeping the mind active and healthy and being present in nature is a great way to connect with your inner child in the same way of being able to give back through some light meditative tasks.

Providing a change of scenery is therapeutic and allows time and space from your worries and woes, allowing yourself to redirect your own personal, solution provision.

WHAT WE DO.

We all live increasingly busy lives and we need time-out to stand still, regroup and take stock of the essential aspects of our lives.

Our ‘SOLO One-Day Programme provides an opportunity to recharge and reconnect through the experience of nature and the elements with other like minded individuals.

ABC SOLO DAY Programmes run from 10am until 4pm. It has a primary focus on building individual skills in meditation and increasing mindfulness through conservation work.

It is ideal for those new to mindfulness practice, wanting to learn more. We believe it is ideal for professionals ‘needing a break’, and is available to any one from any stressful workplace situation. Professional’s from health and social care roles currently attend, wanting to understand more about rehabilitation programmes. However our courses are available to anyone from any background and especially for those with a general interest in mindfulness techniques.

We have two programmes available, each providing a different level of intervention. The SOLO DAY day as mentioned; and our TIME AND SPACE RETREAT, which is a full weekend retreat. Each draws on evidence-based material including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and is delivered by our highly experienced staff team with over thirty years experience in rehabilitation programmes mediation and mindfulness.

We have bespoke programmes based upon your own individual needs and can be viewed at our ABC site.

This valuable time out from the stresses and strains of life is so rewarding, for those wanting to experience peace whilst in nature but not to far into the wild.

We believe this practical work on your own consciousness with other like minded people, from diverse backgrounds, will improve your empirical knowledge of being in the here and now and may enhance your life and the lives of others as a result.

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Darrell.
