As the morning dew lifts and the birds are singing, morning is an especially precious time to be outside. This is a chance to slow down, unplug, and reconnect. Also known as 'forest bathing' or 'shinrin-yoku', this is a beautiful way to connect with yourself, nature, and an intimate group. During this session, a certified Forest Therapy guide will lead you on a slow and gentle walk interspersed with invitations to pause and explore your senses. We will move intentionally and slowly, focusing more on noticing our surroundings than on getting to a destination. 
Common benefits include reduced stress, heightened sensory awareness, and increased sense of place and community. Scientific studies have shown that forest therapy can help strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Cost: $40 per person, or $100 for families of 3 or more (maximum 2 adults) 
Please calculate the payment required for yourself or your group, and enter the full amount when purchasing your ticket. Ticketing in this way helps me keep administrative costs low, as I am just a tiny local business!
