Forest Bathing — Shinrin Yoku

You will be guided on an immersive, meditative, and therapeutic forest walk based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku. Slow down and intentionally connect your senses to the healing, stress-reducing beauty of a little-known corner of the metro area’s green forested spaces.
