Great River, NY 11739, USA

Join certified forest therapy guide, Linda Lombardo of Wild Heart Nature Connection, on a walk at Bayard Cutting Arboretum to reconnect with the natural world around us.

We’ll do some grounding, connect with the trees and water, and even create some nature art together. These walks are always slow and easy-going, not a hike; not a tour of plants or collections. Walk length: 120 minutes; please wear comfortable, sturdy shoes for walking outdoors. Bring whatever else you require to feel comfortable. Organic bug spray only, please. Limited to 16 participants. Ages 18 and up. Fee: $40 per person. If you have an Empire Pass, parking is free. Otherwise, it's $8 per car per NY State.

The Beach

The Beach

Dec 10, 2022 | 09:30 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.

Sea Road, Littlehampton, UK

You're invited to join me for an introduction to Nature Therapy on the beach in Littlehampton, West Sussex. The session is based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing). We'll journey together into the senses to connect with the natural world that is all around us. We'll start near The Beach (the new café opening up on East Beach, Littlehampton) and journey together along the beach, opening up our senses and our hearts to what the natural world wants to offer us in that moment. We do this through a series of invitations - consciously named as there is no right or wrong way to take what is offered to you. Whilst described as a walk - in truth we may travel no more than a quarter of a mile. Sessions are done at a relaxed pace and are open to all. They will take place on the beach - as it is a combination of shingle and sand, sensible footwear is recommended!

Venue

Point Reyes National Seashore

Point Reyes National Seashore

Dec 17, 2022 | 10:30 A.M. - 01:30 P.M.

Bear Valley Visitor Center 1 Bear Valley Visitor Center Access Road
Point Reyes Station, CA 94956, USA

During this walk, we will contemplate the coming Winter Solstice and the stillness of the season. We will walk about a mile on and off a mostly level trail and spend some time sitting and walking under the forest canopy. There are up to 6 wide low steps that need to be negotiated on the trail. Please bring a light pack with water, warm layers, and rain gear. Weather conditions and temperature in the park can change quickly and you want to be able to stay warm during times of stillness in the forest. We might be walking on wet grass or on a somewhat muddy trail. Please wear shoes that will keep your feet protected from the elements. I will bring small foam pads to sit on the forest floor, or you can bring a small stool to sit more comfortably. A tea ceremony with light snacks at the end of the walk will complete our time together! Please register before December 14 at the link below! I hope you can join us in the forest!

Alley Pond Environmental Center

Alley Pond Environmental Center

Dec 18, 2022 | 11:30 A.M. - 01:00 P.M.

224-65 76th Avenue
Oakland Gardens, NY, USA

Winter Solstice Walk at Alley Pond Environmental Center in Queens, NY. This begins a time of rest and deep reflection, a time to wipe the slate clean and clear out the old so you can anticipate Spring feeling ready to grow. It is a time for the medicine of story, of fire, of nourishment and love. Winter is actually kind as she points us in her quiet, soft way towards our inner selves, reminding us the everything is connected. Winter takes away the distractions, the noise and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw, bringing fire & light to our hearth and hearts. While most walks end with a ceremonial tea, this walk could end a bit differently with a hot elderberry cacao, something ancient and warming inside and out. ​Ages: Adults | $20 per person

VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

Dec 18, 2022 | 04:00 P.M. - 05:00 P.M.

440 Montauk Highway
Great River, NY, USA

This is a 12-month VIRTUAL experience with Forest Therapy. Come once. Come every month, or when you can. Each month will offer seasonal invitations and ways to connect or reconnect with Nature. Forest Therapy isn't just a walk; it isn't just a hike. In fact, it’s not a hike at all. It's a deep experience with nature in community with others. It is a practice. You notice things you normally wouldn't notice and receive the benefit of a guide who can introduce you to experiences you wouldn’t consider on your own. A guide doesn’t talk about the plants, trees, and life around you as a naturalist might; although sometimes, they do. As a Master Naturalist, I know the names of the trees and plants, for the most part. Yet, it’s not about their names. It’s about knowing them in a very different way. A guide offers invitations. The invitations that are presented in a forest therapy walk open the senses, slow us down and get us ready to receive what the forest, preserve, park or arboretum, has to offer. The tea ceremony at the end of every walk further strengthens community with something foraged that day or could-have-been-foraged locally. Could you do this on your own? Perhaps. Will you? Probably not. It’s why I felt the urge to create this 12-month experience for you. With all the benefits of being led by a guide, maybe the question you're asking is why would a guide offer you 12 Months of Virtual Forest Therapy that you can do on your own? Well, it isn’t an ‘either or’. It’s a ‘both and’. While a guide and a community deepens the experience, this is a practice that, when done regularly, even on your own, changes you. This event takes you through 12 walks, designed month by month, considering the seasons and the spiritual essence of what being in nature means. You can start anywhere and just keep going. Activities are called invitations because you get to choose how you use them, or even if you use them. Find the invitations you love; discard the ones you don’t. When you attend a guided walk, see what the guide offers as invitations and incorporate them. May the forest be with all of us, as a beautiful, regenerative example of how life sustains itself. The natural world needs us as much as we need it! Linda
