Schedule:

 Saturday, October 26, 2024, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Resource person: learn@vandusen.org

Location: VanDusen Botanical Garden - Visitor Centre

Description:

Escape the stress of modern life and immerse yourself in the Garden's tranquillity. This guided immersion isn't just a walk in the park—it's a slow, gentle experience that engages all your senses, fostering deep connections with nature.

Known as shinrin-yoku or forest bathing, this practice is backed by evidence-based research indicating that it can reduce stress, enhance focus and creativity, and improve sleep and wellness. You'll be guided by Tara T Brown to enjoy the Garden's lush soundscape and calming power, with optional journaling and sketching time. The session concludes with reflection over wildcrafted tea and treats.

Meet at the Visitor Centre to enter the Garden as a group. We embrace all weather conditions, so the class is held outdoors in all weather conditions. Please bring a portable chair if you cannot sit on the grass. Online registration is required.
