Description
Experience a deeper connection with nature on a guided Forest Therapy walk, following the practices of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). Erika is completing a certification as a guide and is offering both virtual and live walks.
Join this walk from your backyard or favorite walking / hiking trail! Erika will guide you through a unique way to connect more deeply with the environment around you.
A Forest Therapy walk is a very slow walk in nature (it doesn’t have to be in a forest; you can do this at the beach, in a garden, or your backyard), inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing. The Japanese created shinrin-yoku for the the health benefits of being in nature. The slow immersive approach of Forest Therapy offers participants the opportunity to be guided and supported in connecting to nature and exploring relationship with self, nature and others.
The program includes an introduction to the walk, a series of invitations (guided prompts or questions) to support you in connecting with nature during the program and finally a sharing circle where we gather to drink tea together.
This is a VIRTUAL program. Email erika@roseandredwood.com before you purchase and we’ll arrange a date!
