About this Event
Forest bathing is a deep nature connection practice that helps us slow down, and be present with the natural world.
Through a series of invitations, we will tune into our senses and have a slow and meditative walk. Based on forest bathing practices, we will:
- Deeply connect to the sounds, smells, textures, and views of nature, allowing us to relax into and become part of the landscape.
- Explore the more than human world with all our senses.
- Have an opportunity to share our experience with the group through mini councils, fostering community connection.
- Taste safe herbal teas from the land during a tea ceremony!
What to bring and wear:
- Comfortable closed toe walking shoes such as running shoes, or flat boots.
- Layers to stay comfortable outdoors.
- Water bottle to stay hydrated.
- Sitting pad (There will be times when we will sit on the ground. If you physically can't sit on the ground, please bring a camp chair you can carry. A limited amount of sitting will be available).
