Curious about “forest bathing” (spoiler alert: no water required) and how to experience it indoors?

Then join us for a calming and restorative indoor introduction to the practice of Forest Bathing, specially designed for people 55 and over.

Come once or join every workshop in this 6-part series to explore the concept of "Shinrin-yoku" (“forest bathing”) which is the practice of being mindful and contemplative within nature, using all your senses. 

Stefanie Haug, LICSW (she/her) guides people on journeys of self-awareness and relationship with nature as a local psychotherapist, certified Mindful Outdoor Guide (Kripalu), and coach. Her career has spanned the nonprofit and corporate world with a focus on the wellbeing of humans and the more-than-human world.
