Fall Forest Bathing – Shinrin Yoku

November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to experience Shinrin Yoku “forest bathing” at Sleeping Giant Park. The hike will be led by Dr. Jennifer Botwick, adjunct faculty at SCSU in the Dept. of Public Health teaching Stress Management, Wellness and Weight management, former clinical supervisor at UBCNM, and guest lecturer at UCONN Medical School and Quinnipiac College.

Shinrin Yoku, AKA Forest Bathing is a “gateway drug”; i.e. a gateway to nourishing our hearts and mind as we walk mindfully and in silence together. Nature is often seen as something outside of us, but we are Nature, in need of more green time and less screen time. Green time is an essential part of Naturopathic protocols to attain and maintain wellness. Forest Bathing is an accessible and affordable way to reap the benefits of what movement, fresh air and no electronic devices have to offer.

REGISTER HERE >>

Participants other than leader and helpers will be limited to 15 hikers. This will be an easy to moderate hike, less than 2 hours with introductory discussion.

Please register each hiker separately. There will be a wait list so please cancel if you find that you cannot attend. If cancelled due to weather, you will be contacted by email that morning.

All hikers should bring water and have proper clothing and footwear for conditions. Children must be 16 or older. Sorry, no pets.

The hike will begin at 1:00 PM at the map board at the front of the park. Please arrive 15 minutes early.
