Join Sonoma Ecology Center and Sonoma County Ag + Open Space for a gentle, guided Forest Bathing Walk with Susan Karle at Sonoma Garden Park. This event is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, which means “forest bathing.” Forest Bathing is the intentional practice of slowing down and immersing oneself in the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations of the natural world in order to restore wellbeing and deepen our relationship with nature. While walking at a relaxed pace and seated, a series of guided invitations will awaken the senses bringing personal connection to the land.
The practice of Forest Bathing supports both personal and planetary healing. Certified Forest Therapy Guide Susan Karle brings over a decade of experience guiding nature connection practices with people of all ages. Her approach integrates her background in grief and trauma work with a deep respect for the healing power of nature.
Children ages 8 to 11 must be accompanied by an adult.
This event has limited space, so post-registration if you are not able to attend please inform Sonoma Ecology Center so that your spot can be made available to someone else.
There is no charge for this outing, which is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund the work of Ag + Open Space with a quarter-cent sales tax. Sonoma Garden Park was protected by Ag + Open Space in November of 2011 for recreation and preservation of its natural resources, and learning classroom environment for agriculture field trips for nearby elementary schools through Sonoma Ecology Center’s “Growing Discovery” program. The 6-acre property, hidden in eastern Sonoma, is an incredible public park and working garden site in Sonoma Valley, home of a wide array of habitats alongside sustainably designed systems for both agriculture use and landscaping purposes.
