July 2010 Ecopsychology Events:

Saturday, July 3, 2010 Grounding/Earthing for Wellbeing. Science is finally proving what indigenous and nature people have always known, that there is healing power for us from the energy of the earth itself. It is available free to all of us! Learn basic grounding techniques and experience the changes within you. You will also hear about recent research as reported in the new book “Earthing”, by Clinton Ober, Dr. Steven Sinatra, and Martin Zucker. $10; 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. R.S.V.P. to Annie Cederberg by July 2 at naturespirit123@gmail.com. Location TBA

Saturday, July 10, 2010 Kayaking. Trying to put together a kayaking/nature tour. Cost would be approximately $30. I need to know how many people are interested in order to set the details. Catch a cool breeze on the water, gaze into the secret worlds at the bottom of the bay and relax! Please email Annie Cederberg by June 30 at naturespirit123@gmail.com. Location TBA based on event enrollment.

Anyone interested in a Paddleboarding (standup on surf board and paddle!) nature trip? Paddleboarding is becoming popular on the East coast of Florida. Supposedly anyone can do it! It’s a great work out, and an excellent way to see Marine Life, even better than kayaking. I’d love to get a trip together. Mark your calendars: there will be a big Paddle- boarding event on July 17, including yoga instruction on Paddleboards! Please email me at naturespirit123@gmail.com if you’d like to be part of a nature trip in the near future.
