Bring your family to take a break from the daily stresses of work and life. Led by certified Forest Therapy Guide Shawn Ramsey, this one and a half hours guided, immersive Forest Bathing Experience encourages you and your family 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 with your family to focus on being present in the moment, experience moments of peace and calm, and connect with the many gifts nature has to offer.
This forest bathing experience is designed with families in mind. We welcome you to bring your family to experience this program. It is suggested for youth ages 12 and above. Please note in the registration that all youth (anyone under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult during the entire program. You will register for the adult plus additional participants.
