You can see a post about how just 30 minutes a week in nature reduces the chance of depression by 7%.

Nature Counter./Biophelia Counter

""A recent study of 20,000 people published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that people who spend at least 120 minutes per week - that’s about 18 minutes a day - in nature are far more likely to report being in good health and having higher psychological well-being, as compared to those who don’t embrace nature. People who spent some time in nature, but fewer than 120 minutes a week, ""were no more likely to report good health or high well-being than those who reported 0 minutes,"" the study authors found.""

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/13/health/nature-outdoors-health.html

 

120 Minutes per week in nature is also geo-locateable on phones. Have you gotten your 120 minutes a week at medium edose nature, or 90 minutes a day of high dose nature?

That is determinable by if your smart phone shows you in the park for how many minutes.

 

We aim to build an app that counts how many minutes in nature each week you have spent and reporting that back to the person. This is like step counts, but based on time in nature as walks through non-parks don’t count for the nature counter.


- Participate in weekly discussions across teams and stakeholders on ways to reach project goals.

Decrease in pulse rate by 3.9%
Decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.9%
Decrease in diastolic blood pressure by 2.1%
Lower levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
Increased parasympathetic nerve activity and decreased sympathetic nerve activity. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to control respiration, digestion, and heart rate. When you are calm, the parasympathetic nervous system is increased, lowering your heart rate and respiration, and increasing digestion. In a stressful situation, the fight or flight (sympathetic) response is triggered, dilating pupils, increasing heart rate and respiration, which allows you to breathe faster.

GNAL's mission is to provide art education as well as to promote the Arts.
GNAL's art classes, art shows and activities support the mental health of our members and the general public. GNAL has always been a place where people let go of their troubles and doubts and released something inside them that they may not have ever known existed. At GNAL, people - young and not so young - of all artistic abilities, have lost themselves in the flow of creativity and found a better sense of themselves and others.
Our building is 128 years old with many maintenance needs. Funds will allow GNAL to provide a safe, sound, comfortable and dignified environment where people gather face-to-face and online to do art and support each other as they grow artistically and support mental health for themselves and their fellow students.
