  • 4/29 Forest Bathing Meditative Walk

    Come forest bathing with the Office of Sustainability and NatureRx on April 29th as Regan Stacey leads us through the forests of the HEEP (Hillside Environmental Education Park).

    Forest bathing is the practice of immersing yourself in nature in a mindful way, using your senses to derive a whole range of benefits for your physical, mental, emotional, and social health. It is also known as Shinrin-yoku in Japan. ‘Shinrin’ means forest and ‘Yoku’ stands for bathing.

    There are two sessions available, capped at 20 participants each. Sign up for your desired time:
