This forest bathing walk is organized in partnership with the wonderful local non-profit Greenhound Canada as a part of their Wellness Wednesday series.

Forest bathing, founded on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku - is an evidence based therapeutic practice where people connect with natural environments exploring ways to see, sense, feel, and experience our animate surroundings in new ways, and perhaps forge new or strengthened connections with our earth, ourselves, and one another.

This will be a slow and immersive experience in nature, centred on experiencing your surroundings, the beings therein, the elements, and the present moment in numerous ways. It is in natural environments that our nervous systems, minds, and bodies can truly rest and be restored, and so I invite you to experience these benefits in perhaps a different way.

No prior experience or knowledge is required, simply an open mind and good footwear.

The duration will be 3 hours.

The price is sliding scale, $20-40. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, so please message me if the cost presents a barrier for you.

Due to Covid-19 there will be a maximum of 8 participants and social distancing will be maintained for its duration.

Direct message me here or send me an e-mail at info@softearthforesttherapy.com to reserve a place!
