$30
Woodland Trail

Fully immerse yourself in this workshop with Melanie Choukas-Bradley as she talks about the practice of forest bathing from her book “The Joy of Forest Bathing: Reconnect with Wild Places & Rejuvenate Your Life.” Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, originated in Japan as the restoring meditative practice of connecting with nature and disconnecting from the distractions of daily life. Melanie, a forest therapy guide with certification from the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, has spent much time in Japan participating in guided walks with Shinrin-yoku guides and learning the techniques that she brings to you in her book.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about the history and global enthusiasm for forest bathing as Melanie guides you through incorporating this soulful practice into your life. You’ll learn how to conduct your own forest bathing walks using the environment around you, including your own backyard!

Space is limited and registration is required. This event will be held virtually via Zoom.
