Rooted Heart - Nature Connection and Yoga

Forest therapy is based on the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, which can be translated to 'taking in the atmosphere of the forest' or 'forest bathing'. Common therapeutic benefits include reduced stress, heightened sensory awareness, and increased sense of place and community. 
During this session, you will be guided through an exploration of your senses and be given the opportunity to deepen your connection with nature. I will lead you on a slow and gentle walk interspersed with invitations to pause, explore, and connect with the natural world and each other. The terrain will mainly be flat, with some mindful wandering off of maintained trails, and you will be provided with a foam pad or stool to sit on during mindfulness activities. At the end of the walk you will be treated to a wild-foraged herbal tea and a light snack around a cozy campfire. 
Please bring whatever you need to be comfortable outdoors for ~2.5 hours:

rain/snow gear - we will carry on with the walk through light rain or snow

layered clothing - we will be moving slowly, and be still for periods of time, so you will feel cooler than on a hike
