DESCRIPTION:Learn why getting your daily dose of Ornitherapy\, may be just what the doctor ordered!\nLive Webinar\nOrnitherapy\, or the mindful observation of birds\, benefits our mind\, body\, and soul.

Within the program\, we’ll delve into our connections to birds\, how to practice Ornitherapy for optimal benefits\, and learn about the latest research in the power of nature for overall wellbeing.
