During my weekly meeting with my mentor, Mr. Moreland, we discussed my visit to the Garden Project this weekend and what I expect when I get there. I told him that I am looking forward to seeing how much the women enjoy doing yoga and how they are going to feel after the yoga session is complete. I think that I would rather pay attention to the therapeutic effect that the yoga may or may not have on the women. I believe that yoga can be a relaxing and stress relieving experience and I’m curious to see if the women will feel the same as I do. I explained to Mr. Moreland that I would be interviewing Mrs. Pricilla for my research paper and we discussed questions that I could ask her so that I could get some solid information for my paper. Mr. Moreland thinks that it would be a good idea to incorporate the different activities that we do for the next couple of visits to the Garden Project into my presentation. I believe that in order for me to have a legitimate paper I must think of all of the things that play an essential role not only in my paper but, in my presentation as well. I plan on doing my interview sometime this week so that I can begin looking at the other aspects of my paper.
Gardening is truly therpeautic. I have been gardening since before I was 10. When I am in the yard, time flies...I feel connected to the earth and the cosmos...everything I worry about takes a back seat..Imagine how these women feel...all the bad things that have occured in their lives are pushed aside for a moment...a needed respite, I am sure.
