This interactive workshop will provide:

  1. An overview of the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv, or "open-air life," and the important role it plays in Norwegian culture. 
  2. The psychological and health benefits of getting outside, connecting with nature, and practicing frilufstliv—especially in winter.
  3. Strategies for practicing frilufstliv wherever you live, including approaches to help you get outside comfortably in all weather, as the Norwegians do. Attendees will walk away with not only a better understanding of Norwegian culture, but with practical strategies they can use in their own lives; attendees will have the chance to not only listen, but participate and share in the chat and apply workshop insights to their own experiences.
