About this event

Join us for a tree therapy walk on the lovely tree covered Douglas Boulevard. We will meet at Stone Temple Peace garden and then an expert and licensed tree therapist will take us through a lovely walk down the boulevard. Here we can all learn how to connect with nature using tree therapy. The tree walk will be about an hour and will will end with a group tea ceremony.

What is the benefit of tree or forest therapy? Forest Therapy is a practice that promotes healing and wellness through immersing oneself in the calming and restorative atmosphere of forests and other natural environments. Research suggests exposure to natural tree oils helps lift depression, lowers blood pressure, and may also reduce anxiety.

This is part of TREEmendous Lawndale's Benefits of Trees workshop series.
