Inspired by Shinrin-yoku, Japanese forest bathing refers to the practice of immersing all of your senses in the healing forest to reduce stress hormones and increase immune function. Connect with forest life around you through mindful activities on a gentle walk outside, typically covering less than a mile, and ending with a simple tea ceremony utilizing native plants. Dress for the weather, as class will be held if there is light to moderate rain.
