Times of transition offer opportunities for rededication to self-care and well-being. Join us in honoringthe Autumn Equinox with a forest bathing session at Rock Creek. Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is a
Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature. Extended
contemplative time in nature calms the mind, promotes well-being, and cultivates a profound sense of
belonging. During this truly immersive, 90-minute experience, you will be invited to slow down, to be
curious, and to touch, smell, hear, and see nature more fully. The session will not be strenuous but
requires the ability to walk a mile or so on uneven surfaces with some uphill grades.
Susan West Montgomery is long-time member of the Willow Street Yoga Community and a Kripalu certified Outdoor
