Guided Forest Therapy Walk + Nature Journaling ExperienceRooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, this is a gentle, evidence-based experience down to the meadow and into the forest (not a hike), including sensory invitations. Come experience Chaminade’s Certified Forest Therapy Trail, one of the first of its kind in the country, thoughtfully created to support healing, reflection, and deep well-being. Discover the joy of nature journaling as a family or individual. Sketch plants, insects, and landscapes while noting your observations. This beginner-friendly, screen-free activity enhances mindfulness and observation skills. No prior art skills required.
Who This is For: Anyone feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected; Individuals, friends, and families (ages 15+) seeking renewal while learning a new way to manage chronic stress. No hiking experience necessary - just a willingness to slow down.
