Description:

(Ages 12+) Feeling overwhelmed? Looking for a way to reduce stress or anxiety and improve your sleep? Try Forest Bathing! Forest Bathing is often referred to as a “nature mindfulness” practice in which people are encouraged to use their senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch - to take in their natural surroundings. Connecting with the outdoors is a simple way to recharge and feel grounded, and promises benefits for your mind and your body. So let’s get up close to the plants, trees, dirt, etc., to experience your city and explore a favorite park in a new way!

Forest Bathing is lead by Mileva Huljev, who holds a Guide certification through the Association for Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT) and believes that this practice offers a pathway to remember how to immerse yourself in nature; to rest from the stressors of daily life. Also, Forest Bathing is more than just 'going for a walk'. It is an opportunity to slow down physically and mentally, through a series of guided invitations using your senses. These experiences increase individual wellbeing and lead to a deeper appreciation for our planet’s land and waterways.
