Overview

Celebrate Earth Day by joining this guided mindfulness walk to alleviate stress and immerse in nature.

Forest Bathing, also known as Forest Therapy, is a slow, mindful immersion in Nature. During a two-hour period, we move through the Forest and connect with the environment using all of our senses. This practice is deeply grounding and has many health benefits. The total distance traveled is often less than a mile. Forest Bathing is not a hike, and it is not a plant identification walk.

Leading the session will be Emily Hampton, an Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT) certified guide. She is a graduate of Stanford University and a 23-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. Emily is also a certified yoga teacher and Nidra meditation teacher.

Please wear long pants and walking shoes, and bring water and insect repellent. This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited - registration is required.

This program will take place rain or shine. It will be canceled in the event of dangerous weather conditions like lightning.
