Program Description
Event Details
Have you been hearing about forest therapy lately? Or maybe you've read about forest bathing and wondered, what could that be like? Here is your chance to learn about this growing practice and the healing benefits of time in nature. Although many countries outside the US have embraced nature as an essential part of daily life, we have become more disconnected from nature over time. In this presentation you will learn what forest therapy is, the benefits of the practice and experience a few sample invitations.
