Forest Immersion

Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing”), this gentle, sensory-based walk invites participants to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience its profound benefits for mind and body. Barbara Walker, PhD, Director of the Osher Center’s Nature as Medicine Program, and Kelly Lyle, MHA, MS—both certified Forest Therapy Guides—will introduce simple yet powerful techniques to deepen your connection with the natural world. Evidence shows that time in nature can help strengthen the immune system, reduce blood pressure and stress hormones, improve sleep and mood, and boost focus, energy, and vitality. No special equipment or experience is needed—just an open mind, comfortable shoes, and a willingness to be present.
