This online event will see the launch of The Art of Mindful Beeing exhibition, featuring photos of bees we have received from College members, staff, service users, allied health professionals, and members of the public.
What is the purpose of The Art of Mindful Beeing? To celebrate our wild bees and all our insects. To help more psychiatrists to become interested in bees and more knowledgeable about insects and wildlife in general. To share information about nature-based therapies and their positive impact on wellbeing of psychiatrists and their patients. To raise awareness around clinical sustainability and the importance of biodiversity. To help psychiatrists and their teams to get actively involved in nature-based therapies and in making better habitats for bees and other pollinating insects.
Online Event During the online event we will share photos submitted as part of the project, as well as hear a talk about bees from Dr Nikki Gammans, Conservation Projects Manager at the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, and a talk from Dr Dan Harwood, Consultant Psychiatrist and Chair of the RCPsych Planetary Health and Sustainability Committee about nature based therapies.
