Deep Nature Connection aka Forest Bathing (shinrin-yoku) is a Japanese wellness modality for deeply communing with Nature. Go slow and unwind. Breathe deep and create spacious relaxation. We're not actually swimming.

Really helps to reduce climate worry, eco-anxiety, and stress.

You'll be guided through gentle practices of mindful movement, mindful breathing, centering, directed awareness, and other experiential practices while we engage with the more-than-human-world. Expect short walking and some sitting on the ground.

Research-backed benefits of a regular Forest Bathing practice include: reduced stress hormones, lowered blood pressure, boosted immunity, greater rest from sleep, and reduced attention fatigue. Other benefits have been described as: a profound sense of awe and connection to the living Earth, a sense of deep peace, and settling of the nervous system. Every session is unique.

General Instructions:
Check the weather before and wear what you might want to be comfortable, layering is best.
Please arrive 10-15 min early to park and find the group. We'll meet just inside, past the gift shop.
