[sust-mar] Forest Bathing Wellness Walks in April

[Wil Brunner]

Four Forest Bathing Wellness Walks lead by Wil Brunner of Soft Pine
Wellness. Wil is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide in Wolfville and has a
background in wilderness therapy and counseling as well as ecology and
habitat restoration. Created in Japan in the 1980’s and called Shinrin-yoku
(translated as showering or bathing the senses in the forest environment),
forest bathing is intentional time in nature that can offer benefits to
mental and physical health.

ACTIVITY BACKGROUND
On a forest bathing walk, one will experience a slow and gentle walk
featuring a series of unique invitations - sensory activities to hone our
bodies, minds and hearts to nature  - and opportunities to share what is
being observed. Participants are encouraged to be creative and fluid and to
do whatever feels right in the moment.

Forest bathing is a fulfilling practice any time; each season and time of
day offers ever-changing moments for authentic connection to the natural
world. Participants do not need to be experienced outdoors people or
practiced meditators and those who are can still notice benefits.
