Nature Rx

Nature Rx @ The Coastal Carolina University Arboretum 

Nature Rx at the Coastal Carolina University Arboretum is a collaborative program among multiple units offering opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to spend time in nature in support of their well-being. For those seeking physical activity, we host events such as tree tours, yoga, and hula. For those more interested in taking time for mindfulness, we lead sessions in a variety of practices including forest bathing, labyrinth walks, meditation, and hammocking. We also have provided information that individuals can use for self-guided activities, including virtual meditations, an Arboretum map with scenic sitting areas and trails, and an interactive tree map with information about the more than 2,600 trees across campus. Through a partnership with Counseling and Psychological Services, students are even able to receive a Nature Rx prescription.
