Join us for a special event as part of our New Moon, New Mountain community hiking series where we mark the new month (Rosh Chodesh) with a community hike. This month we will slow down for the month of Av with the practice of forest bathing.

We will experience the forest in a totally new way through the Japanese practice, shinrin-yoku, which can be translated as “forest bathing,” “forest therapy,” or “taking in the atmosphere of the forest.” We will be guided through this practice by Emily Wolf McMane, a certified Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT).

A centering and calming restorative practice, it promotes balance and restored vitality through a quality of presence and heightened sensory awareness. We will experience this time together by slowing down and becoming immersed in the natural environment, to connect with self, others, and the more-than-human world.
