SUMMARY:Birding with Mass Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Birding at The Mount is now on Wednesdays! Join an Audubon naturalist to learn skills to find and identify migrating and resident birds during this casual\, beginner-friendly walk. This walk will focus on the basics of bird-finding and identification as well as observing the behavior of the birds we can see. We will pause and enjoy observing birds rather than focusing on maintaining an intensive list of every bird in the area. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a loaner pair from us. \n\nMeet outside near the Ticket booth beside the Upper Lot.\nTrail distance covered during the bird walk could vary significantly depending on how many birds we see. This program typically covers up to 1.2 miles on an unsurfaced trail.\nThe trail surface is largely flat with a few gentle inclines\, but can be uneven at points or contain tripping hazards such as exposed tree roots or rocks. The trail surface could be wet or muddy depending on recent weather.\n\nPre-registration is required through Mass Audubon’s website so we can maintain group sizes that are conducive to birdwatching. This program is in high demand\, so please sign up for no more than two dates at one time to ensure that many people can enjoy the experience. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Qigong with Jamie Greene
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the ancient Chinese\, mind-body practice of Qigong\, meaning “mastery of your life-force energy\,” next to our beautiful French Flower Garden. Qigong\, a simpler form of Tai Chi\, combines gentle movements that mimic nature\, self-applied massage\, breathwork\, and meditation with the goal of improving and maintaining physical and emotional health. This self-care practice has been found to relieve stress and anxiety\, calm the mind\, and may help reduce pain\, improve mobility\, balance\, posture\, strength\, immunity and sleep.  \nTo register for this class\, email Jamie: greene01238@gmail.com \n\nThis program takes place beside the French Flower Garden and Pet Cemetery.\nWear comfortable shoes or bring a mat and practice barefoot. Bring a water bottle\, as well as a chair/stool if you prefer to practice seated. Beginners welcome!\nIn the event of rain or inclement weather\, this program may be cancelled. Registrants will be notified via email of any changes or cancellations.\n\nJamie Greene\, PhD\, is a graduate of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi. She also holds a certificate from the eCornell T. Colin Campbell Center for Plant-Based Nutrition. Jamie\, a former clinical researcher\, discovered the power of Qigong and nutrition to heal from within during her retirement. She finds great joy volunteering to share the multitude of benefits for the mind\, body and spirit of this ancient form of moving meditation with others. Jamie encourages her students to incorporate simple\, effective Qigong techniques into their daily lives to enhance their physical and emotional well-being. She has shared her love of practicing qigong outdoors at The Mount\, the Berkshire Botanical Garden\, her community by Goose Pond in Lee\, as well as at nature preserves in Florida. \nQuestions?
