Description

Join us on this special meditative walk in the forest as the longest day of the year emerges. The Summer Solstice is a time to engage our Earth connection, and cultivate and deepen our connection to the divine energies all around us. In living with gratitude and understanding that reciprocity and respect for all that is given to us is, is the way to live as if all life is ceremony. Join us on this special meditative walk in the forest as the longest day of the year emerges. We’ll begin our walk with a brief introduction to mindful awareness in nature and then share a silent, guided walk, stopping occasionally to share our experiences. We will conclude our time together by creating a Sun Wheel made from flowers and special objects found on our walk and enjoy hot, locally foraged tea and nibbles, as we share our thoughts about the meaning of this special day. More information about forest bathing and our upcoming walks can be found here. 100% of your registration supports our Nature Nurtures Project that brings the healing power of nature to residents of nursing homes—free of charge. A mindful connection with the outdoors is crucial for cultivating a balanced, inspired, and fulfilled life. Let yourself be guided... For your body: Release stress, breathe fresh air, and get moving. For your mind: Settle your awareness on nature’s soothing atmosphere. For your spirit: Venture into the woods to gain inspiration from the living earth.Unplug from the demanding outside world and join us on an intentional and meditative walk through the Connecticut forests. We invite you to immerse yourself in the forest and experience a deep connection with the natural world on one of our restorative and meditative forest bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) walks.
