Michael will  talk about what mindfulness is and how it's practiced, along with the health benefits that often come from mindfulness and from time spent in nature. In particular, Michael will show how the practice of mindfulness helps us step away from our internal distractions and experience nature in the here-and-now. He will also take us to some wonderful places in Texas nature, using discussion, passages from the book, and Meghan Cassidy's photos from the book. He and Meghan traveled to the High Plains, Big Bend, the Big Thicket, and numerous other locations including several close to home.

Attendees will receive a ticket for one adult beverage (21 and up), light snacks and 20% off select items in the gift shop. Tickets are $10 minimum donation. We greatly appreciate any gift above this amount to support our mission of protecting birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow.
