Fall Forest Walk - Rest & Recharge

Program Description

Rest. Recharge. Connect. Forest Therapy Walks (aka Forest Bathing) deepen our relationship with nature and ourselves. November 3rd brings us midway through the busy fall season - take a few hours for yourself to slow down, be present in body and mind, and allow the forest to restore you. If you've been feeling the need for some self-care, the need to jump off the hampster wheel, or the need to boost your health with the many benefits of a forest therapy walk... this experience is for you! Expect a slow moving 2.5 hour walk in Harold Parker Forest, stopping along the way for several forest therapy invitations. Invitations help to open our senses, become mindfully aware, and deepen our connection with the natural world and each other.
