Embracing Nature, Gathering for Gratitude and Connection
About this Event

A Unique Opportunity to Connect and Give Back

In the spirit of giving, we’re opening this forest bathing experience to the public on a special, contribution basis. Join us for this immersive, mindful journey through nature, guided by neuroscientist, artist, and certified Forest Therapy guide Karina Del Punta, PhD, with a suggested minimum donation of $20+. Every donation directly contributes to building a sensory garden for the community, providing a healing space for nature connection and well-being.


About the Experience

As we move gently through the garden, you’ll be invited to find your own rhythm, connect deeply with the environment, and cultivate a sense of awe. Forest bathing offers scientifically-backed benefits, including stress reduction, enhanced creativity, and fostering feelings of gratitude and well-being. This experience will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and more deeply connected to yourself, others, and the earth.

To close our experience, we’ll gather for a special Earth Gratitude Catcher Activity. You’ll have the opportunity to inscribe messages of thankfulness on native Seagrape leaves, which will be woven into a communal Earth Gratitude Catcher. This beautiful, evolving artwork symbolizes unity and our interconnectedness with the earth—a perfect way to honor the season of gratitude.


Benefits of Forest Bathing

Emotional Well-being: Fosters connection, trust, compassion, and psychological integration, encouraging flow and expanded perception.

Mental Health: Reduces anxiety and depression, decreases stress, enhances creativity and focus, and supports relaxation and mindfulness.

Physical Health: Lowers heart rate, boosts immunity, reduces inflammation, and improves sleep and recovery.


Reserve Your Spot

Spots are limited to ensure an intimate, meaningful experience. Reserve your place and make your donation with your ticket purchase; if you wish to contribute more to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden to support the sensory garden project, you may do so on the Garden's website. This season, join us in honoring nature, cultivating gratitude, and supporting a project that brings wellness and connection to our community.
