Shinrin Yoku - Forest Bathing

Experience an ancient wellness practice being rediscovered anew in the 21st century. Join us on an immersive, meditative, and awe-inspiring Japanese forest bathing experience (Shinrin Yoku). Feel how nature’s fractals, sounds, and sensations reduce your stress and anxiety, and enhance your focus. Give yourself permission to slow down and connect your senses to the healing beauty of our metro area’s green forested spaces. Leave your phone behind and rekindle your connection with the natural world and yourself. Share your observations and insights with fellow participants, creating lasting memories and a sense of community.
