Shinrin-Yoku
Gratitude, openness, pacing, and attention are the elements of Shinrin - Yoku. Simple invitations foster relaxation, reflection, peace, play, connection, rejuvenation, and healing. The forest is a complex and integrated community of life. Shinrin – Yoku is a quiet, personal exploration that fosters connection. There are opportunities to share our observations and speak to our experience.

Relaxation
Everything about the forest bathing experience soothes the mind and body. The forest itself has a proven capacity to shift our mood.
