Special Mindfulness Program - Connecting with the Diversity of our Planet

Sunday, August 28, 3 - 5 pm

Ages: 15 and over

Dr. Ruth Lerman is the Medical Director of the Beaumont Center for Mindfulness. This program is designed to cultivate mindfulness exercises by bringing your attention to the natural world. During the program, participants will use their senses to explore nature while practicing self-care in order to support mental wellbeing. This program encourages kind, curious interactions between participants while exploring each individual’s interactions with the natural world. This program is not intended as therapy or treatment.

This unique program is developed by mental health professionals and mindfulness facilitators from Beaumont Health, Henry Ford Health System and Children’s Hospital of Michigan along with naturalists from the Troy Nature Society. It focuses on nature, connecting with your senses and practicing self-care in order to combat the effects of the COVID pandemic on mental health. Mindfulness at Stage is a complimentary public program made possible with grant funding from Oakland County’s “Oakland Together Mental Health and Wellbeing Nonprofit Grant Program” and is administered by United Way for Southeastern Michigan.
