Forest Bathing and Sound Walk in Forest Park
Sep 13, 2026 | 11:00 A.M. - 01:00 P.M.
Metropolitan Avenue & Forest Park Drive Forest Park
Queens, NY, USA
"Forest bathing" has been translated from the Japanese term Shinrin-yoku which means "bathing in the forest atmosphere".
Immerse yourself in the natural world and share with like minded folks to illuminate your spirit. You will be guided through a series of grounding and meditative practices that will help reconnect you with the more-than-human world, your community and yourself. Benefits of forest bathing include stress reduction, improved mood, improved cardiovascular and cognitive function amongst a host of other benefits.
In addition to forest bathing, this walk will be part of World Sound Walk Day started by Quiet Parks International, which has been growing their Urban Sound Walk Project, helping people experience their cities through the simple practice of listening. As urban noise increases, the project draws attention to quiet and near-quiet spaces that are still present within our everyday environments and why they matter for people and ecosystems. Join us to be part of this shared global moment focused on listening.
*This experience is best suited for adults or teens.

Oakdale, NY, USA
SOLD OUT! Join us for a day focusing on yourself and your surroundings! We begin the morning with some light yoga and sound healing to help us disconnect from our phones! After lunch, we will head out into nature for a Forest bathing hike led by Linda Lombardo. We’ll slow down, wander and notice what most of the world simply walks past; the beauty of nature in any season. We’ll do some grounding, connect with the trees and water, and may even create some nature art together. These walks are always slow and easy-going, not a hike; not a tour of plants. Walks always end with a ceremonial tea; something that could have been foraged in the forest. According to Linda, “Take this time to be present, lower any stress you may be experiencing, and naturally boost your immune system.”
Dress for outdoor weather. Closed shoes and long pants are recommended. Organic bug spray only, please.
Seasonal parking rates apply. Registration is $20 for non-members, $10 for members.

Forest Bathing is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in natural environments. Also known as Nature or Eco Therapy, this modality is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (loose translation: forest bathing).
A certified guide will offer a sequence of sensory awareness invitations, for you to explore Nature at your own pace. We will practice easy techniques to help you regulate your parasympathetic nervous system. During this calming time, you will experience how spending time in nature can improve your physical and mental resilience.
