Forest Bathing for Spring Awakening

The forest is a source - it gives us peace, strength, inspiration, and healing. We focus on everything green, as nature is currently flourishing, growing, and thriving beautifully. Our movement is slow, as we mindfully perceive our surroundings and consciously enjoy our shared time out through various guided exercises. All our senses will definitely awaken from their winter slumber! FOREST BATHING...also known as Shinrin-Yoku, is a Japanese nature healing method that has been known since 1982. This term simply refers to a "stay in the forest environment." Breathing in forest air and forest compounds (terpenes) - relaxing - experiencing nature with all senses, absorbing it, and letting it affect us. It is about inner peace, serenity, and enjoying the moment without judgment. With the help of various forest bathing exercises (mindfulness, breathing, sensory perception, etc.), this experience can be made accessible again and perceived more intensely. The positive effects manifest in many ways on the body, mind, and soul levels. Note: The event will take place even in the rain! Please bring weather-appropriate clothing/shoes and a seating pad!
