How to Prepare for Guided Forest Therapy Walk

Guided Forest Therapy is a slow and mindful walk in the natural world and is fit for all ages and physical capacities.* This forest immersion experience is inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing that has been proven to enhance health and wellness. During the walk you will be guided through a clearly defined series of open-ended invitations that will allow you to experience your surroundings more deeply. Most walks last from 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours.

Please note that the walk may include uneven pathways, rocks, roots, and mud. If you love being outdoors this is all good news. Be prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and terrain. We will not cancel for moderate amounts of rain only for thunderstorms. Be aware that this is not a strenuous hike and so please dress more warmly than you would for a hike. Layers are always helpful so you can modify as necessary.
