Come discover the regenerative power of mindful engagement with nature. The Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku, forest bathing, is a practice using all your senses to connect with nature. Many studies have found it to be helpful in decreasing stress, increasing immune system functioning and improving concentration, creativity and mood. In a slow-paced two-hour session, certified forest therapy guide Stephanie Campbell will offer a sequence of gentle invitations designed to help you immerse yourself in deeper connection with nature, ending with a forest-based tea.
