Relax and refresh through
mindfulness practices, sensory awareness, and nature.
The class will include a leisurely
walk of about a mile on some of the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill
grounds with stops along the way where we will gather and sit. We will focus on
our senses to develop an immediate connection with the forest. This is a very
relaxed, slow, and mindful way of walking. The walk should last about three
hours, and we will finish with a Shinrin Yoku tea and a small snack.
Please check the weather
forecast and dress accordingly. You will be outdoors even in slight rain.
Please review the
confirmation email to prepare for your program.
