This Event

In this 2 1/2 hour session, the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy trained guides Sage Raindancer of Raindancer Healing Arts and Josh Schwartz of A Greener Mind will guide you through sensory invitations to help you slow down, awaken your senses, and reconnect with nature.

Location

Forested Farm is a 10-acre agroforestry research farm in Bowie MD with a vision of supplying a large portion of all food and forest products people need and use for healthy living in a manner that doesn’t harm the land.

What is Forest Bathing

Forest bathing is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of “Forest Bathing.” where people spend time in forested areas to enhance health, wellness, and happiness.

On Forest bathing walks, participants are guided through a clearly defined sequence of invitations to slow down, allow the senses to open, and experience the environment to deepen the reciprocal relationship between people and the forest. This supports the wholeness and well-being of both.
