Forest Therapy at Mount Sequoyah: April 30

Celebrate springtime magic and the seasonal changes on the mountaintop. “Forest Bathing” or ShinrinYoku, is an evidence based holistic practice which uses immersion in nature to promote health and wellness. Class participants will learn the history of “forest medicine” and discover it’s health benefits through the experience of a guided Forest Therapy Walk. This experiential class will provide opportunities for slow movements in nature, deep listening, and close observation, with optional discussion and sharing. Certified Forest Therapy Guide Emmie Brenzel will facilitate this forest adventure which concludes with a closing Tea Ceremony. Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather, keeping in mind that temperatures will be cooler when sedentary and moving slowly. This class will be limited to twenty participants.
