Forest Bathing
Forest Bathing at the Eno River. This is not a hike, it’s an invitation to give your attention to the land and receive whatever might be offered in return.

Connecting with the natural world (inside and outside) has always been one of my greatest sources of support, especially during times of confusion, crises or pain (mine and ours). It changes me to sit or walk slowly in the woods or by the river, surrender my agenda, and simply receive what is here right now.
I'm excited to share this personal practice with anyone who is open to hanging out with me in the woods for a few hours on a Saturday morning. This is not a hike and does not involve swimming, though you are welcome to do either afterward. Inspired by ancient traditions of finding healing in nature and the Japanese health practice of shinrin-yoku, I'll guide an embodiment practice and meditation to connect with the more-than-human world. Again, this is not a hike, it’s an invitation to give your attention to the land and receive whatever might be offered in return. The only requirement is a willingness to be present.
All ages welcome.
