Join Rose Macaulay, PhD Candidate at the University of Melbourne’s School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences, in an exploration of nature and mindfulness.

Rose’s research is in the emerging and fascinating field of environmental psychology, which explores the psychological aspects and impacts of people’s relationship to their environment. Participants will join her in an immersive and tactile guided experience at the tranquil System Garden, followed by a discussion and Q&A session. Those unable to join in person can enjoy a virtual nature experience online.

Drawing on aspects of Rose’s research and insights from other researchers, this event aims to equip attendees with new ways of interacting with green spaces that promote nature connection, wellbeing and creativity.

All ages are welcome, however, the content will be aimed at an adult audience.
