SUMMARY:Forest Bathing: Discovering the Medicine of the Forest
DESCRIPTION:Join Forest Bathing guide Ronna Schneberger as she leads you on a gentle and inspiring journey towards an improved sense of wellness. Forest Bathing or Shinrin Yoku has been scientifically proven to improve peoples’ health and what better place to take in the forest atmosphere than right here in Fish Creek Provincial Park? \nThis gentle model is ideal for all types of people and abilities. Shinrin Yoku is used in the Japanese healthcare system and doctors prescribe time in nature to reduce stress\, to increase creativity and to improve overall wellness. Here in North America\, we know that being in nature just feels right and can help one focus on life’s challenges by decluttering the mind and reaching a sense of inner peace. Connect with nature and yourself by experiencing the splendours of nature all around you with all your senses through Forest Bathing. \nJoin instructor Ronna Schneberger for this two-hour workshop and learn about the concept and practice of this healing modality. \nRonna is a naturalist and guide in Banff National Park\, she is the first person in Alberta to teach the famous Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku or Forest Bathing. \nOnly $25\, Register through Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Griefwalker Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of Griefwalker\nThe Friends of Fish Creek\, Alberta Parks and Mount Royal University want to celebrate the success of our first ever Good Grief: Walking Through Grief and Loss program with a special event to thank our volunteers\, further engage program participants and endeavour to encourage others to learn more about this important work. \nGriefwalker (2008\, 70mins) is a National Film Board of Canada documentary of Stephen Jenkinson’s work with and on behalf of dying people\, directed by Tim Wilson. Jenkinson asks\, ”What does it take to fall in love with being alive?”\, and the answer that he offers\, both unwelcome and vitally necessary\, is\, “Being willing to see the end of what you love.” \nThis film screening is free to our valued Good Grief Companions (volunteers) as well as to past Good Grief participants.  Admission to the general public is by donation in our efforts to raise funds that will enable us to keep this program going. \nRegister today through Eventbrite

SUMMARY:The May Fish Creek Speaker Series - Beavers
DESCRIPTION:Beavers: Nature’s Engineers\, Troublesome Rodents\, Iconic Canadian Symbol and So Much More\nThursday\, May 18\, 2017\n 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm \nPresented by Kathryn Hull\, Cows and Fish; Shalane Friesen\, Formal and Environmental Educator Fish Creek Provincial Park; and Ryan Hannusch\, Fish Creek Provincial Park Conservation Officer \nWe call them nature’s engineers for good reason. No other species other than humans has the potential to change the landscape as much as beavers do. They are strong\, intelligent\, hard working and yes very busy. Their industrious nature means that their work frequently brings them into conflict with humans and our infrastructure. In this presentation\, Cows and Fish and Alberta Parks will share some of the beaver’s natural history and role they play in watershed resiliency\, while also discussing some ways we can manage them that will reduce conflict and may help increase our tolerance of beavers.  Join us on May 18 to learn about these fascinating creatures and integral members of the wildlife community. \nRegistration Required. Free for Friends members and $5 for non-members. \nRegister through Eventbrite \n \nPhoto courtesy of Phil Smith
