THE CONVERSATION:
Join us for an entertainingly interactive evening of storytelling as Melanie shares some of her favorite mishaps while exploring the wondrous wilderness landscapes of Mother Nature’s Gym. Along the way she’ll introduce us to some of her favorite mindbody practices, including breathing styles to alleviate tension and anxiety, ancient qigong movements to focus attention, and simple movements that can be done anywhere to keep the cognitive mind strong. Prepare to engage and interact with Melanie and her unique mind-body approach to life.
