Please join Haven Box and Forest Bathing RI at the Fort Wildlife Refuge for a Forest Bathing experience. This FREE event is part of Haven Box's Journey Forward Empowerment Program and open to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Forest bathing comes from the Japanese phrase, Shinrin-yoku which means , “bathing or taking in the forest atmosphere,” and is considered an important health and wellness practice in Japan and other countries. Forest bathing walks are slow, mostly silent, and focused on using your senses.
Please dress for the weather and bring what you usually bring on a hike, such as water, sunhat, etc. The trails are flat but can have roots, rocks and sometimes mud, so wearing sturdy shoes/sneakers is a good idea.
We will hold the walk in inclement weather such as drizzle or a chance of showers. If there is steady rain, thunderstorms or heavy downpours, the walk will be cancelled and rescheduled.
Registration is limited to 12 participants.
