SUMMARY:Nature Connection - Shinrin Yoku Forest Bathing Walk - Taster Event

Come immerse yourself amongst friends in this taster version of our longer walks. Simply being out in nature provides a healing\, grounded and connective experience. The practice of Shinrin-Yoku or Forest Bathing fosters a deeper more intentional connection to our roots with nature and to ourselves. \nResearch that started in Japan and continues around the world including locally at places like Stanford continues to prove the direct relationship between time spent in nature and our health. \nJust a few of the scientifically-proven benefits of Shinrin-yoku include:\n***Boosted immune system functioning***\n***Reduced blood pressure***\n***Improved mood with reduced stress and cortisol levels***\n***Increased energy levels and enhanced ability to focus***\n***Improved sleep*** \nOpening our senses to nature also develops our intuition. We learn to connect in new ways to the world around us increasing our energy flow and our overall sense of happiness. Over the course of 2.5 hours you’ll experience a series of invitations allowing you to experience nature as you never have before. In between these invitations we’ll use the Way of Council for group interactions so we can learn from each other as we discuss what we are experiencing in connection with nature. \nFeel free to bring a picnic lunch and spend extra time together in the embrace of the forest after our closing tea ceremony. \nMEET YOUR GUIDE: Gregg has worked in healthcare as a paramedic and an RN from Florida to Alaska. With extensive training in wilderness medicine\, he has traveled as far as Central America to be medical support for others in their enjoyment of nature.

SUMMARY:New England  Nature & Forest Therapy - Acton Arboretum\, Acton\, MA
DESCRIPTION:1033 Forest Bathing – Shinrin Yoku\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeel the layers of stress away and support healing by experiencing the medicine of the forest on this half-day nature connection retreat\nwith Certified Forest Therapy Guide\, Nadine Mazzola. Shinrin Yoku is a term that means taking in the forest atmosphere or forest\nbathing. It is unlike any nature walk you have experienced before. We focus on our senses to develop an immediate connection with\nthe forest. This is a very relaxed\, slow\, and mindful way of walking that has many proven health benefits. It’s fun\, easy and relaxing! We’ll\ndo a series of activities to engage our senses\, hone intuition and connect with the natural world around us. Over time we have started to\nlose our connection with nature as more technology creeps into our lives. Wash away some of the technology induced stress of modern life and reconnect to nature.\nThe walk will still be on if it’s raining\, unless it is a really big downpour or violent storm. If it is raining it’s important to have a waterproof shell including pants\, and many people bring umbrellas also. Rain often enhances sensory experience and makes for some of our most memorable walks.\nMaterials Needed: Please bring a snack or light lunch and water bottle\, or if the day is cold you might want to consider bringing a thermos with a hot drink. Wear comfortable clothing and good shoes for walking on easy trails & sunscreen/hat. If the weather is cool you should also dress to stay warm! I suggest you bring one more layer than you think you will need. We will be moving at a leisurely pace and in the shade so temperatures may be cooler than you expect.\nMIN/MAX: 3/12 \nThis program was incorrectly priced when published in print on 2/17/16 for $30. This fee has been corrected and effective as of 2./18/16 to the correct cost of $39.

SUMMARY:Strolls for Well-Being at Bloedel Reserve - Summer Session June 20th
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: The site is not clear on the duration of either the meetings or the walks so please contact the organizer or the venue for specific details. \nExperience the restorative powers of nature and join us for Strolls for Well-Being\, a free 10-week program offered at Bloedel Reserve. \nIf you’ve ever used nature to calm your mind or heart\, then you’ve experienced the underlying basis of the program. This self-guided tour uses the gardens of Bloedel as a place for inspiration and reflection. With a workbook in hand\, participants explore themes such as forgiveness\, gratitude and awareness. \nParticipants also take part in three check-in meetings\, overseen by the program’s creator. These loosely-structured meetings provided a time for people to share about their Strolls experiences and learn about the positive effect nature has on the human psyche. \nIMPORTANT:\nTo “graduate” from the program and receive an additional 3-month membership\, you must attend 2/3 check-in meetings. Past participants of Strolls for Well-Being say that the meetings are an imperative part of the process. \nThe meetings are at 10 a.m. on June 20\, July 21 and August 25. \nPLEASE NOTE: In order to allow the most participation in the Strolls program\, we ask that past participants not enroll again.
