Episode 31 Mindful Birding & Sensory Engagement: Stories of deepening our connections

[email protected] In this episode, we spend time chatting about deepening our connections to birds through Mindful Birding experiences and how engaging our senses can enhance our experiences and feelings of connections. We cover a variety of subjects, including some key take-aways from a New York Times article published in August that asserts that time spent in nature can boost your attention span. In our Joy of Birdsong segment, we showcase the music of a singing Blackburnian Warbler recorded by special guest Wil Hershberger, on behalf of the Schoodic Institute’s Birds of Acadia Sound library. Additional links:Practical Applications of Grounding to Support Health, Glover, K., 2022Wil Hershberger's Song of Insects Seth Benz : https://schoodicinstitute.org/team/seth-benz/Schoodic Notes Blog: https://schoodicnotes.blog/author/schoodicnotes/Intro music: “Inspired by Nature” by PlayAgainIntro Birdsong & Clips throughout : Western Meadowlark Outro music: “Inspired by Nature” by PlayAgainOutro Birdsong: Eastern Meadowlark Mindful Birding Network WebsiteInstagram: @mindfulbirdingnetworkProduced by Co-hosts Holly Merker and Holly Thomas
