This three-hour forest bathing experience, also known as forest therapy, will be a slow, gentle, guided walk in nature. It is an opportunity to unwind in a peaceful and beautiful setting with a series of invitations, or prompts, that are designed to help you settle your mind and body, awaken your senses, and deepen your connection to yourself, others, and to the water, trees, and natural world around us. The walk will be no more than 1.5 miles. There will be times when we will walk or sit quietly alone and times when we will gather in community.
We will begin our morning by meeting at the Discovery Center at 9:00 am for a brief introduction. Then we’ll ride together in the Discovery Center program van to Beaver Creek Hemlocks Conservation Area.
We will conclude our time together with tea made from local spruce or white pine trees as well as snacks. I hope to see you there for this unique and nurturing experience!

Join us and experience nature’s power to soothe, refresh, and open your heart. The Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing in English) is a slow, sensory-based walk in the woods, during which we focus on the sights, sounds, smells, feels, and tastes of nature. This is neither a naturalist exploration nor a fitness trek; this walk is about soaking in the health benefits of relaxed time in nature. It’s also about tending to and mending our relationships with nature, ourselves, and others. There are no requirements – just come as you are.
PBG is a well-loved natural landscape of over 400 acres; 65 acres are groomed and tended as gardens, meadows, woodland, and grassy areas around a vibrant pond. The terrain is rolling, but there are no severely steep areas. We will walk on just a few trails, and our journey will be less than half a mile. We’ll walk rain or shine. Be sure to check the cancellation policy when you register.
