Analyses of variances conducted to assess improvements
Significant improvement in mindfulness (F[1, 170] = 5.116, p < .05)
Increased connectedness to nature (F[1, 171] = 6.838, p < .05)
Self-compassion showed significant improvement (F[1, 171] = 11.019, p < .01)
Improvements in self-compassion and mindfulness predicted reductions in perceived stress and increases in flourishing by 35.7% and 33.9%, respectively.
