ABAS Event Calendar
Forest Bathing Walk
September 17 @ 5:30 pm-8:00 pm
Forest Bathing, also known as Forest Therapy, is a nature-based wellness practice. This experience can be described as a sensory, immersive, and slow walk. During a walk, we will use our senses to “bathe” in our surroundings, using eyes, ears, hands, nose, body, and heart to experience the world around us. This practice will be facilitated by Certified Association of Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT) Guide & Ornithology Center Assistant Manager, Donna Riner. During the walk, your guide will facilitate invitations, or prompts, to support sensory connection to nature and provide opportunities for sharing between invitations. We will spend approximately two hours together, with time built in for walking short distances, wandering, exploring, sitting, and sharing. Unlike a guided hike, this walk is short, covering only a half mile or so. At the conclusion of the walk, we will share tea and snacks together. $15/person, ages 18+, pre-registration required here: https://anc.apm.
