Forest Bathing Walk

Inspired by Shinrin-yoku, Japanese forest bathing refers to the practice of immersing all your senses in the healing forest to reduce stress hormones and increase immune function. Connect with forest life around you through mindful activities on a gentle walk outside, typically covering less than a mile and ending with a forest-based tea. Dress for the weather, as class will still be held in light to moderate snow or rain.
