      Science-Based Theories

      • Mindfulness

        By being in the present and attuned to the moment-by-moment experience you can regulate your mood, increase insight, and reconnect with yourself and the environment around you. Being in the here-and-now helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and has overall benefits for general mental health.

      • Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Wellness

        Understand the importance cultivating the body's needs (sleep, exercise, and nutrition), the psychological aspects of wellness (thoughts, perceptions, beliefs, coping skills, self-esteem) and the importance of finding connection with others are the three pillars of mental health.

      • Behavioral Activation

        Behavioral activation is a form of intervention most commonly used for depression. It includes activity monitoring and scheduling pleasurable activities to activate positive mood and decrease avoidance.

      Immersive Restorative Mental Health


      Restorative mental health focuses on healing, resilience, and long-term well-being by restoring a person's sense of autonomy, purpose, and connection to themselves and the community. In this immersive experience, you will also enjoy the following:

      Nature-Based Mental Wellness

      The healing powers of nature exposure on improving mental health and mood include lower stress levels, decrease of depressive symptoms, enhanced short-term memory and cognitive abilities. By pairing green therapy and behavioral activation our nature-based walk and talk activities help improve mood and decrease stress. Benefits include enhanced self-expression, collaboration, and emotional-regulation.
