Winter Stillness: Guided Forest Bathing Session in Depew Park

Explore winter's beauty, connect with nature in a gentle way, and experience the magic of the Japanese-inspired practice of forest bathing.

Enjoy the beautiful stillness of winter through immersing yourself in the forests of Depew Park in Peekskill, NY (just over an hour north of NYC). We'll explore the forest and connect with nature through a slow-paced, easeful sensory exploration based on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku ("forest bathing"). Decades of studies have discovered a wide range of health benefits associated with this practice, including stress relief, better sleep, lowered blood pressure and inflammation, and improved immunity. Your trained and certified guide will lead the way, offering optional invitations designed to help you step into your own authentic way of being in the outdoors. All are welcome. No special skills or equipment required. Visit www.ForestBaths.earth to learn more.
