Relax. Reconnect. Renew. \nForest bathing honors the ancient human practices of nature connection.  Elena Rios\, our guide for this experience\, will give you directions in the form of invitations to assist you in slowing down and observing with all of your senses. As you “bathe” in the fresh air and immune-boosting phytoncides\, you may begin to notice things in a way you may not have ever noticed before. The gathering ends with a ceremony of sharing tea made from locally foraged native plants and some healthy snacks. All you have to do is come and be yourself…and reconnect with nature and the more-than-human world.  Note: this walk includes slight downhill and uphill inclines on terrain that is rocky and uneven in certain portions. \nDates & Times: \nThe two dates LFW alumni leaders can sign up for are: \n\nWednesday\, October 9\, 2:00-4:00 PM\nThursday\, October 10\, 12:00-2:00 PM\n\nNote:  We are limited to 15 people per session\, so please do not sign up unless you are confident you will be there.  You also need to be able to arrive at least 15 minutes in advance of the start of the program. \nAbout Our Guide\, Elena Ríos: \nElena Ríos is an ever-evolving ANFT Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide and Inter-disciplinary Artist.
