  • Forest Bathing: A Journey to Inner Calm

    Saturday, September 12 | 9:30-11:30am

    Join us for a peaceful outdoor experience that invites us to slow down, embrace transition, and deepen our connection with the natural world. Forest bathing is a mindful practice of engaging the senses in nature, offering an opportunity for relaxation, stress reduction, reflection, and renewal through simple guided presence outdoors.

    In this season of changing light, shifting landscapes, and gentle transition, we’ll explore what nature can teach us about moving through change with greater presence and intention.
