Join us on World Mental Health Day and take a break from the daily stresses of work and life! Led by certified Forest Therapy Guide Shawn Ramsey, this 2-hour guided, immersive Forest Bathing Experience encourages you to slow your pace, awaken your senses to the present moment, and experience a new way of being in nature.
Forest Bathing (aka Forest Therapy or Shinrin-yoku) is a science-backed wellness practice, that originated in Japan more than 40 years ago. Some of the proven benefits include reduced stress, improved mood, lower blood pressure, and a boosted immune system.
During this 2-hour experience in JC Raulston's unique urban forest environment, your guide will share mindfulness practices and nature-inspired invitations designed to deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
Through this experience, you will have an opportunity to focus on being present in the moment, experience moments of peace and calm, and connect with the many gifts nature has to offer.
