Forest Bathing at Wooster Memorial Park

Thoreau may have called it "sauntering," we might call it a slow, silent nature walk...but some call it forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Research shows the health benefits of forest bathing for stress reduction and balancing our all-too-busy minds and bodies. Meeting in the evening, the traditional time of rest and turning inward, we’ll use this simple practice to slow down and reconnect with the beauty and wonder of the green world. Afterwards, we’ll circle up around the campfire to sit in peace or share a few thoughts if you choose. Please bring a chair or blanket.
