Mental Health Mornings

February 12 & March 14, 9-10 AM
Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

Join us for an hour of calm in the magical space of the Botanical Center with a relaxed session guided by heath expert Sandra Victorino, presented by the Roger Williams Park Conservancy.

REGISTER ONLINE. Tickets are free but required in order to keep the group to a reasonable size (limit 15).

The session runs one hour; additional time spent in Botanical Center is encouraged but requires purchasing a ticket in person or online.

Sandra Victorino has a private practice and is co-founder of the Latino Mental Health Network of Rhode Island. She has worked in the mental health field for 17 years. Her areas of interest in health care are access for all populations, health and mental health equity, and culturally and linguistically appropriate health services. In addition, her current work focuses on building leadership capabilities, diversity and inclusion, and developing and strengthening partnerships in our communities.

 

Venue

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
Our next episode of Swan Stories features Roz Raskin of the dreamy Providence-based band @novaone_! Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more!
