Shinrin-Yoku: Forest Bathing

This workshop will be held rain or shine. A canopy will be provided. Meeting in front of the Lyceum  Bring a journal, pen and  your rain gear if needed.   “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” John Muir

Please join us at Inspiration Stump to experience forest bathing. We will begin with a meditation to soak in the energy of the old growth forest while exploring our innate gifts to experience peace and healing with nature. We will commune with the flora available in the Leolyn Woods, hug trees and share our experiences. There will be time for   journaling. (*Bring your journal and writing instruments) There will be an art experience (supplies provided), and a walk on the Fairy Trail for those that wish to participate.

She currently works as a victim advocate and prevention educator for the YWCA Bradford’s domestic and sexual violence program.
