Spring Equinox Forest Bathing Walk

Come celebrate the Spring Equinox amongst the evergreens at Janes Island! Connect with the natural world as it wakens from its winter slumber. This one-hour Introduction to Forest Bathing will be a condensed version of the longer 2 or 3 hour guided nature & forest therapy walks. 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 picnic table behind the nature center and next to the observation tower.
