Through this slow and mindful practice, you’ll deepen your relationship with yourself and the land you inhabit. After some guided breathing and gentle movement, we’ll amble along the trail, engaging our curiosity, awakening our senses, and enjoying the serenity of Robinson Woods. No previous meditation experience is necessary, all are welcome!

What is forest bathing? Forest bathing comes from the Japanese term, Shinrin-yoku. The phrase simply means “taking in the forest atmosphere”. The modern techniques of forest bathing as a preventative medicine were developed in Japan in the 1980s, though they were developed from the ancient arts of mindfulness and meditation.

Important event information:
