Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing Experiences
Step out of the fast pace of daily life and step into the rhythms nature, allowing your senses to come alive. Forest bathing, also called forest therapy, is inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku. It is a guided experience that allows you to slow down while connecting with nature, community, and with yourself. Spend intentional time in the natural world and remember your belonging.

Fall Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing for Older Adults
October 20th, 10:30am-12:30pm at Whitaker Ponds Natural Area
Cost: $25
This is an opportunity for older adults in the Portland community to experience the positive benefits of forest bathing! Connect with the natural world as you meander through a diverse ecosystem in Northeast Portland.
Research shows that spending two hours in nature boosts the immune system, improves sleep, and reduces stress. This experience will invite you into your body and your senses.
Our time together will end with tea and light snacks among the trees.
Join us in the forest!
