Rejuvenate your mind and spirit while offering a farewell to summer. Guided nature immersion, tea + light snacks, and community connection.About this Event
This unique experience combines the calming practice of forest bathing with the serene setting of the beach at low tide. As you wander the tide pools, breathe in the salty air and listen to the gentle lapping of waves. Rejuvenate your mind and spirit while offering a farewell to summer.
- No forest? No problem! Certified nature and forest therapy guide Tamara Murray will offer thoughtfully crafted invitations to connect with nature.
- Wander among the world that's typically hidden under water.
- Nature connection experiences are inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, which translates to "forest bathing" and is linked with health and well-being. (No actual bathing involved!)

- About the practice: After introductions, you'll learn more about the origins of nature connection and its physical and mental health benefits
- Connect with nature using our senses: I'll offer a variety of invitations for you to slow down, tap into your senses, and experience this beautiful place
- Moments of sharing and listening: We'll have moments where we'll come together and are invited to share what we're noticing
- Tea and a snack: We'll close with tea and a light snack, as well as have the opportunity to chat as a community
- Welcoming space: I'm a firm believer that everyone belongs in nature; I create a welcoming space for people from all walks of life and outdoor experience levels
