Summer Forest Bathing: shinrin-yoku

Adult Programs
A lush green wooded path.

Experience the summer season and connect to nature. Slowly walk and pause beneath the canopy of the forest.  Enjoy the beauty of the land, the warmth of the sun, and the gentle breeze. Give yourself this time to slow down and be guided through a series of sensory invitations. A locally foraged tea will be served.

What is forest bathing?

Forest Bathing is a research-based practice for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. The decades old practice originated in Japan and is known as shinrin-yoku, which literally translates to “taking in the forest” or “forest bathing”.
