Discover the link between birdwatching and mental health. This episode is about what happens in your brain when you birdwatch, and the science of mindfulness.

Dr Luke Smith is a clinical neuropsychologist who has a passion for mindfulness. He works privately within the community and has provided mindfulness training for a range of organisations. Luke is also employed as a mindfulness consultant and educator at Monash University with the Monash Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies. He has grown up with a love of the Australian bush, an environment in which he finds mindfulness is naturally cultivated.
