We have covered a lot of new student topics over the last few weeks, and this session provides students with an opportunity to join us and ask any outstanding questions or concerns they may have before arriving on campus. Let's all get together and celebrate the start of your new journey!

As an international student, we understand that you may have questions about how you can find a job, and how your student status impacts your ability to work. This webinar will highlight the immigration rules surrounding job search as an international student, as well as introduce you to the Career Services and Co-op Department to better understand the resources available on campus to support your student journey!

As an international student, you have some extra responsibilities and things to consider. In this webinar, we will review what to expect at the port of entry, working while you study and working hours as a student, and other important considerations as you navigate studying abroad.

The last NNC session will take you on an off campus excursion to the local McKellar Island Bird Observatory. We will learn about migratory songbirds and their Save the SongBirds Project. You will get to see first hand how they catch and release the birds, band them for tracking of species and you will even get to hold and release a bird as part of the experience! Our hosts John and Brady will tour us through the area and talk about the important connections between the land, native species and songbirds.

*This event requires walking through the forest on trails and will be fully outdoors. There is no washroom facility at the location. Please dress according to the weather and bring some bug spray!

Forest Therapy is based on the Japanese practice of "Shinrin-yoku" (Forest Bathing), which is a form of therapeutic relaxation in which your senses are immersed in nature to relax, heighten awareness and form a deeper connection to nature. As a certified guide I believe in the healing power of nature. Walks provide an intentional space to slow down, breathe deeply and remember the quiet strength that lives within you. 

What to Expect:

• What it's not- a naturalist walk or fitness hike
• What it is- mindful time spent among the trees and together in a nature loving community
• 2 hours in duration, 1 mile or less in length over fairly easy terrain.
• Feeling the benefits of spending time with nature including boosted immunity, reduce stress and inflammation, improved mood, lower blood pressure, activate parasympathetic nervous system and so many more!

Forest Therapy walks are guided, relaxed, sensory experiences full of wander and wonder. We slow down, come into the present moment, open the senses and settle the mind.  Throughout the walk I will offer invitations, allowing you to pause, take in the pleasures and curiosity of the forest and surroundings and have time for personal reflection and sharing. Each walk is concluded with a tea ceremony.  The Forest is the therapist, the guide just opens the door.

Sara looks forward to going on an amazing journey of nature discovery with you!
