About this Event
Are experiencing high levels of stress?
Do you feel like you spend too much time using technology?
Do you feel disconnected from your authentic, ideal self?
What happens when we close the laptops, put down the mobile devices, saunter out and start listening to the trees?
Research confirms that sustained, intentional contact with nature benefits humans through:
- Improved sense of wellbeing
- Lower instances of stress-related illness
- Improved memory and cognitive flexibility
- Expansion of creativity and problem-solving
Join certified forest therapy guide, Kimberly Knight for a guided, immersive walk in the Amsterdamse Bos to slow down, tune into your senses and reconnect with the natural of which we are a part.
Light refreshments and a handmade, upcycled journal are included.
These walks are always slow and easy-going, not a hike; not a naturalist tour of plants or trees.
Walk length: 2 hours; please wear comfortable, sturdy shoes for walking outdoors. Bring whatever else you require to feel comfortable.
All participants of Wildwood Wisdom activities are personally responsible for their own fitness, safety and welfare and must be equipped accordingly.
• Be Prepared
Dress comfortably for walking on natural terrains. Bring a water bottle, but little else so you are unencumbered for your walk. Participants will be asked to silence and pocket their phones, so let folks know you will be unavailable for a couple of hours.
