Full Moon Forest Bathing

Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024, 6–8 p.m.

Come enjoy the serene atmosphere of the outdoors under the light of the full moon on this Full Moon Forest Bathing experience.

Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments.

A forest therapy walk is a gentle, open ended sensory practice that tends to adapt organically to the needs of the participant. Walks can be fun, playful, reflective, profound, simple, humorous, or provide opportunities for grief. As a practice, the experience tends to resist conventional description.

During each walk, a certified forest therapy guide offers invitations to deepen sensory experience and facilitate interaction with nature. If you've ever been a child, jumped in a pile of leaves, looked under rocks for cool bugs, or noticed a distinctive tree, you can do forest therapy. There's no wrong way, and lots of "right" ways to do it. Nothing is mandatory, and no particular outcome is expected. Everything is welcome. Immersions typically end with tea made from wild-harvested forest herbs and snacks.

Come try it out and see for yourself!
