Description:

(Ages 12+) Need to get away? Wanting to quiet the mind but not sure how? Try Forest Bathing! The Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is the simple and therapeutic act of spending time in a forest. It is a process of relaxation. This immersion experience moves slowly through the park, offering a series of sensory invitations to simply be. This method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees while observing nature and breathing deeply, can help both adults and kids boost wellbeing. Come experience deeply restorative “me time” or bond with loved ones 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.
