About the event
Join us for an evening exploration of forest bathing with Certified Forest Therapy Guide Sharon Stevens. Forest bathing walks are designed to open the door to the healing properties of nature. Unlike a typical nature walk or hike, forest bathing focuses on slowing down, tuning into your senses and deepening your connection with the natural world. We accomplish this through a series of simple, sensory “invitations.”
Participants should come prepared for the following:
- Long pants are recommended for off-trail travel
- Appropriate clothing for the weather and warmth for slow travel or periods of sitting
- You might bring a light weight camp stool, yoga mat or sit-upon as we may sit quietly for 10–15 minutes at a time.
- Water and snacks if needed.
This event is free and suitable for adults and mature children. RSVPs are required because spots are limited. Please cancel via email if you change plans.
Accessibility: This walk does require travel on a single-track, dirt trail via walking or using an off road mobility device. Off trail travel is optional. Please reach out with any accessibility needs you might have!
