活動內容簡介
森林浴的概念是鼓勵人們以身心靈放鬆和沉浸的方式,感受和接觸自然。
透過慢步、呼吸、觀察和五感體驗感知森林的聲音、光線、味道和質感等,來促進健康、增強幸福感和減少壓力。而森林本身亦擁有美好物質,例如芬多精 對人體免疫系統神學系統有正面幫助。
ANFT 的森林浴並非只是單純的散步,而是一種深入的自然療法實踐。導師會引導參與者進行一系列的感官活化活動,如深度聆聽、呼吸、靜觀、慢遊、品茶和分享等。透過這個過程,參與者能更加深地連結自然,從而達到身心的治愈與恢復。
此外,ANFT 的森林浴也著重於社群的互動與連結。它認為,在大自然的環境下分享經驗和情感,能夠增進人與人之間的關係,並在集體層面上創造更深的社區聯繫。
所以總括而言 森林浴是一場連接自己感受、享受與身邊朋友分享聆聽、重新與大自然萬物接觸相處既旅程同時放慢節奏前行亦不帶任何宗教信仰背景 適合不同年齡背景朋友參與

Overview
Forest bathing is a concept that encourages people to feel and connect with nature by relaxing and immersing themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.
By walking slowly, breathing, observing, and using the five senses to perceive the sounds, light, taste, and textures of the forest, it promotes health, enhances well-being, and reduces stress. The forest itself possesses wonderful substances, such as phytoncides, which positively benefit the human immune and neurological systems.
ANFT's forest bathing is not just simple strolling, but a deep natural therapy practice. The guide will lead participants through a series of sensory activation activities, such as deep listening, breathing, mindfulness, slow movements, tea tasting, and sharing. Through this process, participants can connect with nature more deeply, achieving healing and recovery of body and mind.
Additionally, ANFT's forest bathing emphasizes community interaction and connection. It believes that sharing experiences and emotions in a natural environment can enhance relationships between people and create deeper community bonds on a collective level.
In summary, forest bathing is a journey to connect with your feelings, enjoy and share with friends around you, and re-engage with the myriad elements of nature. It is a journey to slow down without any religious background, suitable for friends of different ages and backgrounds to participate.

SOLD OUT- Adventures in Ecological Horticulture

Free at Bexley Library
Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.
David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants

COLUMBUS SPIRITUALITY MEETUP
We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !!

Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :)
