Location: Sudha and Ravi Sankar’s property in Ridgefield

New! Open to All Adults – Men and Women!
Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku is the experience of taking in the forest or nature with all the senses. Developed in Japan in the 80’s, forest bathing is prescribed by doctors as a treatment for stress or the impact of stress on chronic illnesses. Though we spend a great percentage of our time indoors, research has demonstrated that time spent outdoors, especially two or more hours a week has real health benefits-from lowering blood pressure and metabolic processes to creating a sense of well-being. In this encounter, we will be with nature instead of passing through it. Expect walking meditation and time for sitting with all around us. Participation is limited to 10 adults. To sign up, or for further information contact Carol Hamilton: chhamilton19@icloud.com
