Forest Bathing Full Moon

Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, Forest Bathing is a research-based practice that supports healing and wellness through guided sensory immersion in outdoor spaces. Proven to boost immune strength, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function, this practice emphasizes connection between all participants-both human and the more-than-human trees, plants and wildlife on site.
