St. Johnsbury Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of UVM (OLLI) presents "SLOW BIRDING-RECONNECTING WITH NATURE AND SELF" by Bridget Butler aka Bird Diva.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2019 at 1:30 PM at CATAMOUNT ARTS on EASTERN AVE. in ST. JOHNSBURY.

Birding can be competitive and methodical or it can be mindful and meditative. Recent studies have shown that noticing birds can improve your mental health, reduce depression and improve memory and attentiveness. Bird Diva Bridget Butler will share the practice of Slow Birding and how you can awaken your innate birding skills and reconnect with nature. She'll share a variety of techniques that will help you look at birds, listen to them and interpret their behavior that will not only build your skills as a naturalist, but will provide you with a practice that will allow you to slow down and reignite your nature awareness.
You may have heard Bridget on Vermont Public Radio's Spring and Fall bird shows on Vermont Edition!
