Reconnect with nature and quiet your mind through the gentle practice of Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing). Guided by Forest Therapy Guide Dan Silver, these slow-paced, mindful walks focus on sensory awareness and stress reduction—not distance or exercise. Suitable for all skill levels.

Event Details & What to Bring

• Pace: Expect slow walking, standing, and quiet observation (excessive talking is limited to maintain a quiet, therapeutic atmosphere).
• Weather: Runs rain or shine! Dress warmly in comfortable walking shoes.
• What to Pack: Water/snack, flashlight/headlamp (for evening walks), whistle, and bug spray (Dan will have extra whistles and spray on hand).
• Group Size: Max 12 participants per walk.
