Winter Forest Bathing Walk
Enjoy an embodied awareness walk through the beautiful garden spaces at Reiman Gardens! This crisp winter walk will end indoors with a warm beverage and snacks by the fire.
Forest therapy, inspired by Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese philosophy of “forest bathing,” boosts immunity, lowers blood pressure and stress hormones, prevents and relieves stress and anxiety, and increases cognitive functioning.
Brandy Case Haub, certified forest therapy guide and owner of Intertwined: Nature + Forest Therapy, will lead participants of all abilities on a slow, meditative walk where less than a half mile is covered. Brandy will use techniques to support participants in entering a state of embodied awareness, moving through a series of “invitations” to support tuning into the senses, allowing participants to move into a liminal space, and experience resulting wellness benefits.
