Taught by Nadine Mazzola, Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Award-Winning Author
Guided forest bathing is a gentle and relaxing practice that restores our connection with ourselves and the landscape around us. Take time out for yourself, for this very special opportunity to connect with other people and experience the relaxing practice of forest bathing, together in a group, led by certified forest therapy guide and award-winning author, Nadine Mazzola. Awaken the joy and awe of nature and within. This class will consist of a series of gentle activities (invitations) that allow participants to use their 5-senses to engage with nature. This is wellness naturally, more than a walk in the woods. It has the health benefits of mindfulness and supports the immune system and variable heart rate. This is not a physically demanding class. Class activities are low-impact and slow-paced and cover about a mile.
