August Forest Bathing: A Sensory Experience

Rancho Los Alamitos presents

Saturday, August 1, 2026

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM (2 Hours)

Free onsite parking. All materials included.

Join us at Rancho Los Alamitos for a guided sensory experience with certified Forest Therapy Guide, Meghan Pinyan. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing means taking in nature through your senses. These slow and mindful walks offer an immersive sensory experience to explore your unique relationship with the earth.

The walk begins with a grounding exploration to awaken the senses, followed by a series of crafted invitations to wander using your senses to explore the natural world. The walks are slow and at a gentle pace with periods of silence and reflection. The group will conclude with tea and snacks.

Participants of forest bathing notice benefits after sessions, such as:

• Relaxation
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Increased creativity and improved memory
• Deepened connection to themselves and the natural world

Space is limited. Due to the slow and meditative nature of this walk, it is recommended for those for ages 16 years and up.

Rancho Los Alamitos is located within the gated community of Bixby Hill in Long Beach. The entry point is via the security gate at Anaheim Road and Palo Verde Avenue.
