About this Event

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Special rate of $55/person (includes parking & access to the Arboretum before/after your walk!)
  • Occurs on select dates each month
  • Max group size is 15 for a more intimate experience

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Join a certified forest therapy guide for a relaxing 2.5-hour stroll through the forest on the peaceful Arboretum grounds. Through a series of invitations, you’ll have the opportunity to be present in the moment, deepening your connection with nature and community, and enjoying the many gifts nature has to offer. Your guide will share mindfulness practices designed to connect you more deeply to your inner landscapes, as well as the world around you. Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese art of immersing oneself in a forest environment, a forest bathing walk invites you to spend time in nature in a way that invites healing for ourselves, our fraught ecosystems, and our community. It is true nature therapy!

Presented through Adult & Continuing Education Programs at The North Carolina Arboretum in collaboration with Asheville Wellness Tours.
