Slow down and awaken your senses and lean into the sensation of being alive. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing is a restorative sensory exploration that supports health and healing for all beings. From increased cerebral blood flow to stronger immune defenses, forest bathing is part of a global effort to tend to the stressful conditions of living in modern industrialized civilization. All the prompts, invitations, sharing and ways of participating are optional and open to interpretation.
