Originating from Japan in the 1980s\, several studies now affirm some of the benefits of regular forest therapy\, including a reduction in stress levels and increased well-being. \nDuring the walk along the Yorklands\, Giulia will guide participants through a series of restorative\, mindful invitations to slow down and interact with the forest in new\, playful ways. \nWhat to expect: \n\nGentle\, flexible invitations to inspire you to engage with the natural world\nMoments of optional sharing as a group\nTea under the canopy at the end\n\n$20- donations are encouraged for event participants\, who have the option to donate either online or in person at the event\, using cash.
