“Shinrin yoku,” “Forest Bathing,” “Nature Therapy,”
“Outdoor Mindfulness,” many terms to describe a
rather simple thing: time spent in nature is healing and
restorative. Come learn why and be introduced to a few simple
practices that might serve to inspire and deepen your own
nature-based wellness routine. You’ll learn the science behind
forest bathing, its origins in 1990’s Japan, and the ways it is
being used in the United States today. Whether you spend hours a
week outdoors or can’t remember the last time you sat under a tree,
this session will offer new ways of thinking about your
relationship with nature and with the more than human world.
