About this Event

Embrace the serenity of the natural world with a guided experience that blends the restorative practice of Forest Bathing with the creative expression of crafting a Nature Mandala. This immersive session invites you to slow down, tune into the rhythms of the forest, and create a nature mandala inspired by the beauty around you.



What to Expect

Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku)
Begin your journey with a guided forest bathing session, led by a certified Nature and Forest Bathing Guide. You’ll immerse yourself in the forest’s sights, textures, scents, and sounds through sensory-based invitations and mindful exploration. This calming practice will help you feel grounded, present, and connected to the natural world. The session concludes with a tranquil Tea Gathering, where we’ll share reflections over seasonal snacks in good company.


On this guided walk, you will:

  • Awaken your senses through mindfulness invitations that deepen your connection to nature.
  • Participate in nature-based invitations designed to foster relaxation and presence.
  • Leave feeling rejuvenated, restored, and in tune with the natural world.


Nature Mandala Creation
During your forest bathing walk, you’ll take part in the mindful creation of a nature mandala. Using natural materials gathered along the way, you’ll craft a unique piece that mirrors the patterns and beauty of the forest. This meditative practice fosters creativity, invites reflection, and deepens your connection to the environment.


What You’ll Experience:

  • Guided techniques for gathering and arranging natural elements.
  • Insights into the symbolism of mandalas and their connection to mindfulness.
  • A chance to express yourself through art while connecting deeply to the environment.
