OLLI Experience: Shin-rin Yoku: What is Forest Bathing? (OFFSITE)

In this class, we will learn about shin-rin yoku, the Japanese ritual of "forest bathing" or spending intentional time in nature. During our walk through a natural area, we will learn about the rituals and science behind this practice and be given space to practice. Experience a renewed sense of awe by slowing down and cultivating mindfulness during your walk. The health benefits of shin-rin yoku go beyond the sense of well-being that you will feel after our time in nature- come experience it for yourself! Please note that this course takes place on a hiking trail. We will be moving slowly, but it involves approximately 1 mile of walking.
