Rooftop Healing Garden at the UC Osher Wellness Suite - Guided Audios

Nature as Medicine

Spending time in nature is a powerful way to support your health and well-being. Research shows that even brief moments outdoors can help reduce stress, improve mood, enhance focus, and support overall resilience. Nature invites the body to relax and the mind to reset.

Mindfulness in Nature

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment. In this garden, you are invited to slow down and gently engage your senses - notice the colors, textures, sounds, and scents around you. Let your breath deepen. Allow yourself to simply be. We invite you to be present and fully immerse yourself in nature, awakening your senses to the healing power of nature.

Below are guided practices to deepen your experience.
