Forest Bathing at West Van Vliet Hemlocks

This trip will be lead by Kim Ainis, certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. We will begin our morning by meeting at the Discovery Center at 8:30 for a brief introduction. We’ll ride together in a van to Van Vliet Hemlocks (West Side). The three hour forest bathing (or forest therapy) experience will be a slow, gentle, guided walk in nature. It is an opportunity to unwind in a peaceful setting with a series of invitations, or prompts, that are designed to help you settle your mind, awaken your senses, and deepen your connection to yourself, others, and to the water, trees, and natural world around us. The walk will be no more than 1.5 miles. There will be times when we will walk or sit quietly alone and times when we will gather together. The walk will conclude with tea made from local spruce or white pine trees as well as snacks. I hope to see you there for this unique experience.
