Explore how we can connect ourselves through our five senses, ultimately more than five senses, to the outside world, Nature. Walk less than a 1⁄2 mile through the trails with stops to explore, “follow” our senses, engaging in mindful, nature connection “invitations,” (activities) structured in a carefully designed sequence that aims to slow down our busy minds, create experiences that enhance nature and our inner nature connectedness and strengthen social relationships, boosting the therapeutic and restorative effects of nature for health and well-being.
Some activities may invite quiet stillness for up to 10 minutes.

FAQs:
🌲Do we actually take a bath in nature?
Although bathing outdoors is fun, nature bathing refers to taking in and fully experiencing what nature has to offer. It is an immersive practice that explores nature connection through guided activities such as mindfulness and meditation.
🌲So we keep our clothes on, right?
Absolutely. You may be invited to explore barefoot when appropriate and safe to do so, which can deepen a grounded connection to the earth. As with any invitation, they are playful moments to explore and are not mandatory.
🌲Do I have to attend all of the sessions in the series?
You are welcome to attend the sessions individually or in series. Each session will have its own unique flow due to time of day, month, and spontaneous nature moments. The transient aspect does allow for participants to have diverse experiences while supporting a practice of “turning off” to “tune in.”
