Additional information

  Then join us for a calming and restorative indoor introduction to the practice of Forest Bathing, specially designed for people 55 and over.

Come once or join every workshop in this 6-part series to explore the concept of "Shinrin-yoku" ("forest bathing") which is the practice of being mindful and contemplative within nature, using all your senses.  The experiential portion of the workshops will focus on our senses one at a time, workshop-by-workshop, through simple mindfulness exercises, gentle guided nature imagery, and other grounding activities that promote relaxation and (re-)connection with ourselves and with nature.

No level of physical ability or prior experience with meditation or mindfulness is necessary — just an openness to relax and explore a new way of calming and connecting.
