Cultivating Wellbeing: Exploring Practical Nature-Based Strategies for Burnout Prevention
Abstract
Workplace stress is on the rise, and many professionals are feeling stretched, disconnected, and depleted. Burnout is a growing challenge in today’s fast paced work culture.
This 20-minute session explores how nature-based strategies can offer a powerful, practical approach to restoring balance and supporting wellbeing in the workplace.
Drawing from evidence-informed nature-based therapy and mindfulness practices, participants will explore simple techniques that can be used during the workday or outside of work to create meaningful pauses, enhance focus, and regulate the nervous system. These accessible tools require minimal time or resources and can be integrated into even the busiest schedules.
Whether you’re supporting a team or your own wellbeing, this session offers evidence-based strategies to feel more grounded, focused, and resilient.
Participants will leave with a fresh perspective on how to implement practical nature-based strategies into the work day to reduce burnout risk and cultivate sustainable work-life balance.
