Join us on this three-hour journey to unplug, slow down and reconnect with yourself and the natural world around you. Forest Bathing (also known as the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku) invites you to explore the natural world using your five senses. This is not a hike or naturalist walk; it’s a meditative, guided wander in nature. And there’s a growing body of scientific knowledge that demonstrates the benefits of spending time in nature like this, as a wellness practice and as an effective way to manage stress.Benefits include:
- Boosting your immune system through inhaling phytoncides, essential oils emitted by trees, plus other beneficial microscopic particles that are stirred up as you walk
- Reducing blood pressure, respiration and heart rate
- Reducing stress, improving mood, increasing energy and improving sleep
- Increased capacity for empathy and kindness for self and others
- Increased ability to think strategically (“Executive Thinking”)
- Increased ability to think more creatively (“Original Thoughts”)
