Forest Bathing - Nature-Based Mindfulness Walk

Tea pot and cups in the woods on a tree stump

Wildwood Park                                             $15 per participant

This program is SOLD OUT! We are offering the same program on Saturday, July 13th from 9 - 10:30 AM.

On this slow-paced walk, you will be invited to experience your breathing, senses, and the natural environment at various locations throughout Wildwood Park. Participants should be able to walk about 1- 1.5 miles on paved, gravel, and wood plank trails with some elevation gain. The program concludes with a lovely forest tea. Instructor Justin Ferko (he/they) is a queer bodhisattva-in-training and Earth poet. As a Certified Forest Bathing Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Justin facilitates your soul friendship with Mother Earth and your own senses. 

A Park Rx wellness program sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield.
