ADIRONDACK FOREST BATHING
Slow down. Unplug. Let the forest do rest…
Picture it now: You are walking through an evergreen forest on a bright spring day surrounded by bird songs. You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as you watch green shoots springing up from the ground. You feel the mystery of the forest. Your Adirondack Forest Bathing guide is allowing you to slow down, helping you open your senses to a new way of experiencing nature.
Forest Bathing is a sensory immersion in nature. Through a series of sensory activities, you are invited to open yourself to all of the sights, sounds, smells, textures and tastes of life in the Adirondack forest. Forest Bathing will quiet your mind and allow you to recover from the stress of your day to day life. Read more about the health benefits of sensory immersions in nature here.
No goals, objectives or need to accomplish anything.
More than two decades of research studies describe a wide range of health benefits from the practice of Forest Bathing including lowered blood pressure, reduced stress, a stronger immune system, reduced anxiety and greater attention and concentration.

"I assumed I had "been there, done that".
I grew up in and spent a lot of time in the woods,
and this was a great NEW experience."

Watch this video from the Association of Forest Therapy Guides & Programs to learn more about Forest Bathing:
If you are breathing, you are in relationships with trees.
If you are eating, you are in relationships with soils, plants, animals, the sun and the seasonal procession of the weather.
We then realize that none of us exists independently.
We are profoundly interdependent with all things.
