Experience the Healing Power of Nature
Join us for a Forest Bathing session — a gentle, guided walk in nature designed to awaken your senses, calm your mind, and nourish your spirit. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, this immersive experience invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world in a new and meaningful way.
No hiking or fitness required — just a willingness to be present.
Perfect for anyone seeking relaxation, renewal, or a deeper connection with nature. This 2.5 hour nature immersion with a group will open your heart to connect with yourself, others and nature.
Cost: Donation based, pay what you can, suggested donation $40.
A portion of all proceeds will go to a different nature loving organization each quarter.
