Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this nature tours class:

Forest Therapy/Shinrin-yoku is a practice of spending time in nature or forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, well-being, and happiness. There is a specific intention to connect to the landscape by mindfully moving in ways that cultivate presence, sensory awareness, and nature communication.

Cultivate fascination and gratitude for the natural world by engaging in a regular nature practice. Awaken your senses to new noticings and settle deeper into ease with each walk as you reduce stress and let go of time and expectations.

Experience the healing air, sounds, sights, and sensations of the forest and connect to the cycles of nature as you enjoy a slow paced, guided walk traveling less than one mile on maintained trails.

Please dress appropriately for the outdoors and different types of weather. You may need water, insect repellent, hat, etc, and anything else to make your experience comfortable.
