Description

Experience Forest Therapy with Certified Forest Therapy Guide Jeanne Lovinelli. Enjoy focusing on YOU with mindful "invitations" and suggestions. The experience ends with a lovely tea ceremony with items foraged locally. ‌Please meet us in Parking Lot #2 and Heather, our Education Director, will be there to instruct you where to meet your Guide. Forest Therapy is a relational practice that brings people into deeper intimacy with natural places. And one of those natural places is our natural self; it’s a practice that holds the possibility of meeting again the kernel of who we are, and what we are born to be and how we are intended to be of service in the world. It’s also important to recognize how the practice supports every aspect of our well-being. There are many wonderful health benefits attributed to forest therapy including boosted immune function, improved cardiovascular and respiratory health, attention restoration and a reduction in stress and depression. ‌Donations made will go directly to The Forge Charitable Adventures which is devoted to the Conservation and Restoration of the park's natural surroundings.
