Connect to Nature for Health & Wellness through Forest Bathing 

Feeling overwhelmed? Burnt out from chronic reactivity and doing-doing-doing? The Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is the simple and therapeutic act of spending time in a forest. "Shinrin-yoku" or "taking in the forest atmosphere" was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Studies have shown that time in nature is an antidote for stress and anxiety. It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, reduce nervous system arousal, enhance immune system function, increase self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and improve mood. guided immersion experience moves us slowly through the park, offering a series of sensory invitations to simply be, in the moment.

During this calming experience, we will practice easy techniques to help you regulate your nervous system. Find out how this outdoor experience at Boeing Creek Park in west Shoreline, can increase your physical and mental resilience.  https://www.forestbathingfinder.com/guide-profile/humannature/
