CANCELLED- 2nd Sunday Forest Bathing

Event Summary

Forest bathing is a slow-paced, therapeutic, guided walk that promotes wellness through a series of gentle, sensory-opening invitations. It’s a time for individual, quiet reflection. Studies have shown a wide array of health benefits to being in nature, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for helping to stabilize mood and improve cognition. A growing number of health professionals are prescribing a walk in the woods to complement or even substitute for traditional medicine. Connie Svoboda, Conservation staff and Certified Forest Therapy Guide, will lead the event.

Registration deadline is October 7 at noon, after which time an email will be sent to participants with instructions specific to the event. Sign-up is limited to 8 participants, ages 16 and above. Please complete and email the waiver or bring it with you to the event.

Monthly forest bathing experiences occur every second Sunday of a month, with occasional special events announced. Private walks for organizations, families, and business retreats are welcomed; contact Connie at 319-277-2187 to schedule.
