🌿 Forest Bathing Walk on Canada’s National Forest Bathing Day

​Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature on Canada’s National Forest Bathing Day.

​Forest therapy or forest bathing, also known in Japanese as Shinrin-yoku, isn’t a hike with a destination. It’s a gentle, guided immersion in the sights, sounds, and sensations of the forest. Science backs what nature already knows: time spent mindfully in the trees can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and restore a sense of calm.

​Join us for a guided walk where you’ll be led through simple sensory practices to help you fully arrive in the present moment. No experience necessary, just a willingness to slow down.

What to expect:

  • ​A relaxed, unhurried pace (this is not a fitness walk!)

  • ​Gentle invitations to pause, notice, and breathe

  • ​A welcoming space for all ages and abilities

  • A tea ceremony to share a gift from the earth and snacks

​Come as you are. Leave feeling restored. 🍃
