1.5 hour guided Forest Bathing in old growth forest:
(Also known as Forest Therapy, Shinrin Yoku or Nature meditation)
You will be invited to engage in several mindful nature connection practices which can help slow down, de-stress, and connect with the natural surroundings. These practices are accessible for all. They are not physically strenuous (there will be options for walking and/or sitting) and a knowledge of the natural world is not required as the focus is on using our senses and curiosity to connect with and explore our surroundings.
Participants often comment that a Forest Therapy program leaves them with a greater sense of well-being and an appreciation of their interconnection with the more than natural world.
