Shout out to Ambre and Bradley Brewster, owners of Wild Birds Unlimited Rogers in Rogers and Fayetteville, AR for sharing the magic of ornitherapy with Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter. The therapeutic benefits of ornitherapy are truly remarkable, offering peace, mindfulness, and a deeper connection to nature.
Wild Birds Unlimited, with support from Adventure Subaru, installed a bird watching station on our campus for our Horizon Academy and Hope Academy students to enjoy. Ornitherapy is a concept that combines ornithology (the study of birds) with the therapeutic benefits of mindfulness. The goal of ornitherapy, and engaging with birds in their natural habitats, is to foster mindfulness and provide therapeutic benefits like relaxation, gratitude, and a stronger connection to nature. All of this supports physical and emotional wellness by lowering blood pressure, calming anxiety and much more. Thank you to Wild Birds Unlimited for this exciting partnership!
