Fall Forest Bathing
October 18 at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$40.00
Give yourself the gift of slowing down, breathing with the trees, and reconnecting with the earth. Slow, gentle, sensory, and immersive, forest bathing starts off with a guided meditation deepening into each of the senses, and then you’ll be led through a series of invitations that offer the opportunity for deeper relaxation and connection with ourselves and the earth.
We will come together for optional sharing and close the experience with wildcrafted tea.
Forest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to “forest bath” and just means to take in the atmosphere of the forest through our senses (leave your swimsuit at home…no literal bathing required!). It is a practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness and remembering our connection to nature and each other.
Decades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice, including stress relief, better sleep, lowered blood pressure and inflammation, and improved immunity.
