This event is open to all community members\, although recommended for those 16 and older. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nForest bathing is a nature connection experience inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. These immersive experiences offer the chance to break away from the stress of daily life and to find healing and nourishment through intimate engagement with the beings with whom we share this Earth home. \nWhile offering a renewed sense of interconnection with the natural world\, forest bathing also allows access to beneficial nervous system states that can support our long-term health and well-being. Research has proven that forest bathing boosts immune strength\, improves cognitive functioning\, and reduces stress\, anger\, anxiety\, depression\, and sleeplessness. \nOffered through a series of guided invitations\, the walk will help participants move beyond the chatter of the thinking mind and find a deeper sense of embodied engagement\, enabling access to new ways of being while exploring relationship to self and others. This intentional practice of embodied presence cultivates access to powerful experiences of curiosity\, awe\, and wonder thatare essential for resilient engagement with this era of dramatic change and transformation. \nGetting There: When you turn onto Kelley Point Park Rd\, follow the road until you reach the final parking lot – our group will be in this area.

Forest Bathing is Forest Therapy\, or Shinrin-yoku\, a Japanese practice that has garnered attention for its ability to immerse people into their natural environment. It helps people take a deep breath and rediscover our true essence\, to remember our purpose and how we can serve the world. By immersing ourselves in nature and engaging our senses\, we can reap the many benefits of forest therapy such as improved immune function\, cardiovascular and respiratory health\, and reduced stress and depression. However\, these benefits are simply a byproduct of the deeper healing that occurs when we re-establish a connection with the natural world around us. \nLuminous Together Forest Bathing Walk: \n\nCome back to your Self and immerse in the serenity of the forest.\nGuided by a certified forest therapy guide\, this journey invites you to slow down\, breathe deeply\, & awaken your senses.\nMove slowly & dwell in the present.\nExperience simple practices that heighten awareness.\nPause with the group for contemplation & sharing.\nFollow the wisdom of your body\, heart\, mind\, & spirit.\n\nAbout Your Guide: Bea Yeh (she/they) is a certified forest therapy guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and has been crafting community programs for over a decade.
