This program is to support and motivate participants to meet a planet in crisis with courage, curiosity, playfulness and love.
Participants will learn the history, benefits, and how to do Forest Bathing. We will experience the art of dialogue to create language that creates more connection with themselves, others, and all of nature. Moving from subject, object thinking that creates separation.
Reflection, sharing time will be interwoven into the day, to embody the practices, experiences through movement, art, writing, stillness, depending on the needs and interests of participants.
Dialogue on reciprocity to build resilience for all of nature, we are all nature. To create more meaning in our lives, viewing nature as non- human relatives, using kin terms reminds us that we have a responsibility to a plant, tree, squirrel or salamander. Participants will be invited to create a plan going forward, what support they may need, resources, small doable steps, opportunity to find a Forest Bathing buddy within group.
Please join us for a day of healing and a lunch to bring everyone together.
