Forest therapy is based on the Japanese practice, shinrin-yoku, which can be translated as "forest bathing” or “taking in the atmosphere of the forest.” A centering and calming restorative practice, it promotes balance and restored vitality through a quality of presence and heightened sensory awareness. It’s a time to slow down and become immersed in the natural environment, connecting with self, connecting with others, and connecting with the more-than-human world. These walks are appropriate for adults and older teens.
