Shinrin Yuku nature connection

Forest Bathing, Shinrin-Yoku is an ancient Asian practice of "bathing in the atmosphere of nature". This was and is considered medicine. We are a part of nature. When we calm the mind and come into the body this helps us release stress and reset our nervous system. NOTE: we will not be bathing in the forest. We will gather and mindfully walk into the woods. Spend time exploring the beautiful old white pine forest. Then settle into a spot to do some breath work and meditation. Kamalika will facilitate teaching how to connect and ground in nature (forest bathing). We will conclude the event with a nature mandala. I’m asking for a donation of whatever you can afford. When we meet up as a group we are more accountable for healthy actions and habits. You also have an opportunity to meet like-minded people!! There is no actual bathing going on, no water is involved. Bring water and something to sit on. The hike is a mild half-mile loop, with no inclines. Children and dogs are welcomed, but not recommended. To be respectful of the group. If you can't sit on the ground I have a few camping chairs. Also If you know you're not steady on your feet please bring a hiking poll.
