What Is Forest Bathing?
Forest Bathing is a wellness practice with documented physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual benefits. Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan in the 1980s to help people manage stress and relieve symptoms associated with various chronic illnesses. Since then, the practice has helped people all over the world.
What to Expect during the Experience:
During this Forest Bathing experience, you will be gently guided by a certified Forest Bathing guide to slow down and explore the beautiful City Green gardens and Learning Farm through a multi-sensory experience.
The evening begins with sensory meditation to help you ground yourself and heighten your awareness of the surroundings and environment.
