Shake off the stress of the work week with some therapeutic time in nature. 

Mindful Moments in Nature is a programming series each week at Keystone State Park that focuses on the therapeutic power of nature. Each meeting, the park naturalist will lead participants on a short hike, basic meditative techniques, stretches, and more. Most meetings will focus on a specific nature topic and what mental and emotional lessons we can learn from nature. 

This week's topic is Introduction to Nature Journaling. Nature Journaling specifically encourages mindfulness in nature and is going to be one aspect of each Mindful Moments in Nature meeting throughout the season. It encourages the user to pay closer attention to the natural world around them, find details, and to learn more about them. 

Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook or journal of their own that will be dedicated to future nature journaling. Sheets of paper and clipboards will be available to those who are unable to bring a journal or who forget to bring one. 

Space for this program is limited and registration is required. Additional information, including meeting location and other items to bring, will be disclosed upon registration. You can register simply by emailing Jean at jkeene@pa.gov. Pre-registration for the following week's program will be available at the end of this week's program. 

Registration for the program on 5/12 must be received by 5/8.
