Leave the hectic world behind and explore the ancient wisdom of forest bathing. Forest Bathing, also known as Shinrin Yoku or Forest Therapy, is an ancient practice that is now supported by scientific research. Improved immune function, reduced cortisol levels, increased cognition and memory, and improved mood are just some clinical findings. Facilitated by a trained guide to help support your own relationship to the healing benefits of nature, this experience allows for mindful connection to the more than human world. Participants move at a slow pace and are invited to connect in an ensorial way to accessible treasures of the Haverford College Arboretum. Visit www.ForestTherapyForMe.com to learn more about our instructor Maggie Brown and Forest Therapy/Bathing.
