Description

Awaken your senses and calm your spirit through Forest Therapy Join us for a Guided Forest Therapy Walk at Seven Bends State Park and experience the health and wellness benefits of Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese practice of “forest bathing.” Your experience will include a two-hour walk, that will typically be less than a mile in length, responding to different invitations to experience aspects of natural world. Your guide, Kristine Villatoro, a certified trained Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) will guide you through sensory invitations to help you slow down, awaken your senses, and reconnect with nature. Forest Therapy, or shinrin yoku, is the simple practice of taking in the woods through the senses for health benefits. The benefits are immense: boosted immunity, lowered blood pressure and heart rate, improved attention and mood, and hitting the reset button on life. This program is reserved for participants over the age of 15. Meet by the canoe launch at the Lupton entrance. All COVID restrictions apply.
