Decompress after Election Day with a bite-size forest bathing experience under towering trees and to the rustle of leaves.
About this Event

Treat yourself to a short, midday break in the forest. No matter what your politics are, . Let’s decompress under towering trees and to the rustle of leaves. This lunch-break-length experience will help you reset and unwind after Election Day. (We won’t be talking politics.)


  • 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
