Description

Forest bathing walk with certified forest therapy guide Melanie Choukas-Bradley. Join Melanie Choukas-Bradley, author of The Joy of Forest Bathing, A Year in Rock Creek Park, and several other nature books, for a forest bathing walk through the Tregaron Conservancy. Forest bathing is a mindfulness practice akin to meditation, yoga and tai chi that involves tuning in to the beauty and wonder of your natural surroundings with all of your senses. Melanie is a nature and forest therapy guide with certification from the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides & Programs. She will guide you on a calming and rejuvenating walk through the Tregaron woodland with plenty of time to slow down and soak up the special magic of spring in this enchanting wild garden. Preparation: Face covering is required. Dress in comfortable clothing and be prepared for slow walking on natural trails and stone steps with some hill climbing. Bring rain gear if showers are expected. Weather Policy: We will go ahead in light intermittent rain but will cancel in steady, heavy rain or a serious threat of thunderstorms. The rain date for this event is Wednesday, June 3. Directions, Map and other information: Tregaron is a 10-15 minute walk from the Cleveland Park or Woodley Metro stops and can be accessed on foot or by bicycle (no bikes allowed within Tregaron) from the Klingle Valley Trail. We will meet at the iron gate entrance across the street from 3031 Klingle Road, NW. You may also enter from 3100 Macomb Street, NW and walk through the park to meet up with us at the gate on Klingle. Please note: There are no restrooms at Tregaron. There is a Starbucks on Connecticut Avenue across from the Zoo which is a 10 minute walk from the meeting place.
