Forest Bathing: Shinrin Yoku

About this event

Enjoy a light lunch as we introduce you to the practice of Shinrin yoku for increased peace of mind, relaxation, connection to nature’s wonders, and mindfulness in the present moment.   You’ll receive a guided meditation with Reiki attunement, forest “bathing” in the beauty of the Spa State Park, followed by a journal exercise.  Forest Bathing, also known as “awe walks,” attunes you to your senses as you walk, sit or stand in a quiet natural setting without speaking.  This is more difficult than it sounds, as we remain silent for at least 20 minutes in the forest, in addition to the guided meditation and Reiki attunement.  Dress comfortably with socks, slacks and sneakers, and prepare for whatever Mother Nature provides for us that day, for this event takes place rain or shine!  That’s the nature of Forest Bathing, to enjoy the beauty of this mindful experience.
