Description
Research confirms what every nature lover knows in their heart and mind - having more birds around you can make you more joyful. A recent study by Methorst et al. (2020) shows that having more bird species in a person's vicinity can increase their life satisfaction as much as earning an extra $150 a month. A MONTH!
Our new course, at Home with Birds comes to you when you need it the most! To bring release, relief and enjoyment through birds right at home. In this second course from Passerina, we take a more intimate approach to bird connection. Learn how connecting with and healing the land around you can help in-turn heal yourself. From bird habitat needs to personal mental and spiritual health, to scientific participation, At Home with Birds provides a fundamental understanding of all this and more.
