1. NATURE IMMERSION GETAWAYS Mental health continues to be a hot topic, as rates of anxiety, stress and depression continue to chart higher across all age groups. Probably not coincidental, we spend less time in nature and more and more time indoors, and in front of screens. Seems we needed science to figure out that being outdoors calms the body and mind, and actually results in both a reduction in cortisol levels (the hormone responsible for stress) and depression. Time in nature is being prescribed by doctors, and nature getaways provide much needed Vitamin D and an opportunity for your mind to clear and relax.
