A Day on the Farm is based on the principles of garden therapy, proven to reduce stress and anxiety. If you are feeling a bit stressed, A Day on the Farm on Fridays can be beneficial.
On the farm, tasks are simple and repetitive, making it easy to get into a state of “flow.” When we’re in this harmonious flow, our body, mind, and surroundings align, promoting recovery and well-being.
Being in the flow strengthens our parasympathetic nervous system and boosts brain health. It releases anti-depressant neurotransmitters like endorphins and serotonin.
