Join us at Cowee Trail (behind Cowee School) for an afternoon "bathing in the forest" inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, therapeutic relaxation guided by sensory invitations. During this 2-hour experience, there will be a mix of leisurely strolling, observation, and reflection both as a group and individually. Be ready to experience the restorative benefits of our natural world and integrate these tools to practice presence into your daily life.
Consider bringing: weather appropriate clothes and shoes, water, snacks, something to sit on such as a yoga mat or blanket, and anything else to make our time outside more comfortable. Expressive elements of choice like journals or sketchbooks are also encouraged. Optional BYO picnic lunch to follow.
$40/person // any tip at checkout will be donated to the Cowee Contemplative Trail Project.
