What is Forest Bathing you ask?
Forest Bathing (as commonly referred to in North America), is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (‘Forest Bathing’) developed in the 1980’s. Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Laura Kielpinski will facilitate a safe gentle walk in nature, providing “invitations” for sensory opening activities. These walks are not intended to be nature interpretive or fitness focused in structure, but rather an opportunity to slow down and remember our connections and relationships with the natural world around us. Participants can expect the session to take approximately 1 hour and should dress as if you were going to have a “nap in the forest”.
Studies and research have demonstrated that forest therapy walks may have a wide array of health benefits to an individuals’ emotional and physical well-being including; reduced stress levels, changes in blood pressure and/or heart rate, improved mood and cognition. Other side effects during the walk can also include increased relaxation, personal awareness, insights and reflections, as well as laughter, giggles and playfulness.
Morning Forest Yoga Flow
A restorative hatha practice to awaken the mind and body and start the day in nature. This practice can be modified for any body. It will include connecting the mind to the body through breath, movement coordinated with breath (vinyasa flows), lateral bends, balancing, and mindful twists. Yoga mats and towels are provided but participants are welcome to bring their own.
Paint Night
Let Aleks from Brainy Bird Creations guide you through creating your own work of art! This will be a “blind” paint, meaning you will be guided step by step, but won’t know what the final product is supposed to look like!!!
All supplies are provided!
