ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Honor the Summer Equinox and you own changing seasons with an immersive guided walk in the tradition of Shinrin-yoku or Forest Bathing. Through mindfulness we will be present to the landscape and all its sights, sounds, smells, and feels. We will give ourselves permission to slow down, to be curious, and access the healing qualities of nature.

Each excursion is approximately 90-minutes long and includes warm-ups, centering, and breathing exercises to allow for a transition from the day-to-day to an immersive
experience in the landscape. This is followed by a walk and an extended sit. We conclude with a returning ritual, a chance to reflect on the experience and understand
how the practice can be used in daily life. This time in nature will not be strenuous; all skill levels and most abilities can be accommodated.
