Introduction to Forest Bathing Walk

Come celebrate the arrival of the summer solstice with an introduction to forest bathing walk! The walk will provide a taste of the healing and wellness benefits of forest bathing. We will move slowly and cover a short distance, connecting to nature with an open heart and with our senses through a series of guided, sensory invitations.

Research has shown that 'bathing in the environment of the forest' has many positive health benefits. The process of re-remembering and re-knowing our bodily connection to nature can lead to reduced stress, a decrease in blood pressure, a reduction in anxiety & depression and an increased feeling of comfort and calm.

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. The walk be held entirely outdoors. Meet at the Irving Park Rd side of the park at the entrance to the natural area inside the park near ball field #9.
