Forest and Nature Therapy Walks
There is a quiet pulse to the fall forest, as the trees and landscape turn inward and prepare for winter. It is darker earlier; the leaves fall – creating spontaneous collages on the forest floor and the trees reveal their winter forms. Come experience this changing of the seasons on a Forest Bathing walk with Todd Lynch, certified ANFT Forest Bathing guide. Forest Bathing offers the opportunity to slow down. It re-aligns our rhythms with the landscape, allowing our senses a respite from everyday demands and uncertainties, and gives us a template to practice on our own time at home. It’s a chance to remember ourselves and the joyful relationships that await us outside. Come experience what the Forest at the Hitchcock Center might share on this 2 hour experience
What to Expect:
A leisurely walk of about a mile with stops along the way where we will gather and sit. The walk will be planned in a way to promote safe physical distancing of 6 feet or more between participants. We will focus on our senses to develop an immediate connection with the forest. This is a very relaxed, slow, and mindful way of being in nature. The walk should last about 2 hours and we will finish with an herbal tea made from Todd’s organic herb garden.
