Saturday, July 26, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Experience the healing and wellness-promoting effects of Forest Bathing as you connect with nature on the lush grounds of the Olcott Arboretum at the Theosophical Society in America. Forest Bathing, also known as Forest Therapy, is a practice that supports health, wholeness, and wellbeing through guided immersion in forests and other natural environments. Inspired by the Japanese practice of 
shinrin-yoku
 (forest bathing), this practice offers potential benefits for body, mind, and spirit.
In Forest Therapy, participants are guided through a series of gentle invitations to slow down, open the senses, cultivate awareness, and experience the environment in ways that foster a sense of wholeness and a deeper relationship with the natural world.
This practice is slow-paced and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Please check the forecast and dress for the weather. If conditions are cool, consider bringing along extra layers or a blanket since we will be outdoors for an extended period. You may wish to bring water, insect repellent, or anything else that will help you be comfortable during the program. If necessary, feel free to bring an outdoor chair or camp stool that you would not mind carrying for a short time. 
In the event of severe conditions, the program will be rescheduled.
