Forest Bathing
Sunday, June 11, 2023 09:00 AM
Moreau Lake State Park
Coined shinrin-yoku in Japan in the 1980's, forest bathing
is the ecotherapeutic practice of spending time immersed in nature, absorbing
it with all of your senses. The physiological and psychological benefits last
for days afterward with the additional benefit of a new appreciation of our
precious woodland and its inhabitants. This is a beginner- rated walk along the
Nature Trail with long pauses to sit and enhance our awareness of our
surroundings and it is approximately a 2-hour program. A small mat is
beneficial to ensure a dry seat. Pay $5 per adult (cash or check) at the office
upon arrival- no children are permitted for this program. Registration is
required at least 24 hours in advance; call or text 518-917-2174.
