Acton, MA 01720, USA
Learn how to do Forest Bathing invitations with your dog. Your dog will even be your guide! Hate to leave your dog behind? Me too, so I've developed my own way of bringing these two things together combining my experience as a Certified Forest Therapy Guide and a dog owner. Spending time in nature with my dog and Shinrin Yoku are two of my favorite things to do. Using our senses to slow down and bring us to the present moment is the way of a Shinrin Yoku walk. So often our walks can be something we have to get done, rushed or full of conversation on our phones. Instead, learn how to make part of your walk a time to slow down, connect and release the stress in the Shinrin Yoku way. Even make it part of a mindfulness practice. Yes, even with your dog!
Proof of rabies vaccination in the form of a town license tag or documentation from a veterinarian is required to participate. Limited to 8 owners and their dogs.

Full Moon Forest Bathing Walk - NARA Park - Acton, MA
Aug 02, 2020 | 06:45 P.M. - 08:45 P.M.
2 Taylor Rd
Acton, MA 01720, USA
Join certified nature and forest therapy guide and author, Nadine Mazzola, for an unforgettable full moon experience. Nadine will lead you through invitations: sensory and interactive experiences to reap the healing gifts of nature. Relax deeply, raise your mood, immune system, and sense of coherency. Reconnect with the earth’s beauty and wisdom. This 2 hour experience is not hike, rather it is a series of invitations with options for wandering or just sitting. The evening ends with a tea ceremony and a snack. Peel the layers of stress away and support healing by experiencing the medicine of nature.
Materials Needed – Please bring a snack and water or a thermos with a hot drink. Wear comfortable clothing and good shoes for walking on easy trails. If the evening 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.

Council of Waters and Trees - The Whidbey Institute
Oct 12, 2020 | 09:00 A.M. - 02:00 P.M.
6449 Old Pietila Rd
Clinton, WA 98236, USA
This multi-day program will be held October 12th - 16th, 2020. In this immersion we enter the liminal space of renewed possibility for deepening our connection with the more-than-human world through Forest Therapy and The Way of Council. The Whidbey Institute is located one hour north of Seattle. It has served as a home for transformational learning since 1972. The location supports an engaged, vibrant local community with a cultural and learning hub; invites a growing urban population looking for nature connection and contemplative space; and allows them to partner with a vibrant network of program leaders working in the areas of leadership development, ecosystem vitality, community resilience, and more.
We exist for those who sense the urgency and responsibility of our time and feel called to respond
The Institute has been founded on land that is located on the territory of the Lower Skagit, Swinomish, Suqamish, and Snohomish tribes—the island Tscha-kole-chy, named Whidbey Island by colonial settlers.
