Connect with your inner human animal during this mindful, playful forest bathing experienceAbout this Event
Connect with your inner human animal. By spending time connecting with nature and observing other beings, we can begin to remember that we are nature. This experience allows you to slow down so you can truly take in your environment using your senses.
- Certified nature and forest therapy guide Tamara Murray will offer thoughtfully crafted invitations to connect with nature.
- Nature connection experiences are inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, which translates to "forest bathing" and is linked with health and well-being. (No actual bathing involved!)
What can I expect?
Unlike a hike or a naturalist walk, we'll give our bodies and brains a break by simply using our senses to connect with nature.
- About the practice: After introductions, you'll learn more about the origins of nature connection and its physical and mental health benefits
- Connect with nature using our senses: I'll offer a variety of invitations for you to slow down, tap into your senses, and experience this beautiful place
- Moments of sharing and listening: We'll have moments where we'll come together and are invited to share what we're noticing
- Tea and a snack: We'll close with tea and a light snack, as well as have the opportunity to chat as a community
- Welcoming space: I'm a firm believer that everyone belongs in nature; I create a welcoming space for people from all walks of life and outdoor experience levels
