SUMMARY:Forest Bathing @ Sargent Road Nature Park
DESCRIPTION:Forest Bathing is an intentional practice of spending time in natural spaces. Participants “bathe” in the sights\, sounds\, textures\, smells\, and tastes provided by the forest.  Forest Bathing has its roots in the Japanese practice of “Shinrin-yoku.” This is a research-based practice and studies show a variety of physical\, mental\, and emotional health benefits\, such as better sleep\, enhanced immunity\, less stress\, increased feelings of energy\, joy\, and connection. Your Forest Bathing Guide facilitates this experience through a series of sensory-based invitations.  These simple invitations promote connection to self\, others\, and natural spaces.  Each Forest Bathing session lasts 2-3 hours\, with time built in for traveling short distances\, sitting\, exploring\, and sharing. Unlike a hike or guided nature walk\, this excursion is short\, covering only a half mile or so\, leaning on the idea: It’s more important to be here than to go there.  “
