Shinrin Yoku for Every Day Life

Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) is a practice of mindfully immersing oneself in nature. Thoughtfully crafted invitations aid in awakening the senses and drawing a deeper appreciation for the world around us. This workshop will begin with grounding practices, hold space for participants to immerse in the nature invitations, and conclude with a reciprocity to nature meditation, tea ceremony, and optional sharing circle.
