Forest Bathing
Slow down and connect with nature through the practice of forest bathing.
Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, forest bathing is a slow and mindful practice, connecting with nature through the senses. As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Mary will offer a series of invitations to explore a deeper connection with nature and with yourself. Research has shown that spending time in nature has many benefits including decreasing stress, lowering blood pressure, and improving mood.
This is an outdoor class and will be held rain or shine. Please dress appropriately for the weather with comfortable walking shoes and layered clothing.
