About this Event

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Organized by the Forest Bathing Club in partnership with Evergreen Brick Works, these walks are offered to the public as an introductory experience to the practice of Forest Bathing. Led by Emily Pleasance, artist and Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide, this 2.5 hour experience will offer you a space to drop into your body, tune into your senses, and connect with the more-than-human-world. You will be introduced to the concept of all beings, have stories told about the land, and be showed alternative ways of being with yourself, each other, and nature.

Unlike a hike where there is a destination, this practice is about arriving here, in the present moment.

*Once you have attended this public introductory walk, you will have the opportunity to join FBC's Monthly Gathering walk where we come in community to practice together as a gesture towards internal environmental activism.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • No prior experience is necessary
  • Slow and relaxed walk with time to rest
  • Approximately 2.5hrs (route no longer than 1km)
  • Invitations offering you to be with nature


PREPARATION:

  • Wear layered clothing and dress for -10 degrees cooler than the forecast. This is not a brisk walk so we will not be creating body heat to support us. Choose clothing that offers a lot of warmth with the knowing that you can always take off layers to cool down.
  • Bring weather-appropriate and comfortable clothing, a water bottle, and an open mind.
  • Recommended to BRING A HAT – Brick Works has many open areas with lots of sun!


IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Address: 550 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, ON M4W 3X8

Meeting Spot: The Water Shed Wall

Arrival Time: *YOU MUST arrive minimum 15 minutes prior to the event for registration and orientation. WALK BEGINS ON THE HOUR – SHARP!


  • Release Forms and Waivers provided at the start of the event must be signed to participate.
  • Cancellation Policy: Tickets are refundable up to 48 hours prior to day of the event. The FBC can cancel an event up to 48 hours prior if the number of participants is too low.
  • Inclement Weather Policy: The FBC can reschedule the event due to inclement weather. Tickets will be automatically transferred to the next available date or to another date of the participant's choosing.
  • Must be at least 15 years of age. All those under 18 years must have guardian present.
