Description

'Bathe' in the forest atmosphere using your senses, mindfulness and short guided meditations Led by Educator Lauren Lynch. From the Japanese 'shinrin-yoku', the practice of forest bathing means to immerse oneself in the forest and soak in the atmosphere through the senses. Today's walk will focus on connecting to nature through mindfulness, as we explore the senses and the present moment through short, guided, meditations in the forest. Forest bathing has been shown to help decrease stress levels and anxiety, and to improve the immune system and symptoms of depression, to name a few benefits.
