Guided Forest Therapy Walk

To celebrate National Forest Week, Yorklands is hosting a guided forest therapy walk led by Giulia Pozzi, a certified forest therapy guide!

Also known as forest bathing, forest therapy is a wellness practice that encourages participants to engage with their senses and reconnect with nature. 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.

During 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. Registered participants will receive an email closer to the event date, with additional details.

What to expect:

• Gentle, flexible invitations to inspire you to engage with the natural world
• Moments of optional sharing as a group
• Tea under the canopy at the end

20-dollar donations are encouraged for event participants, who have the option to donate either online or in person at the event, using cash. These donations help YGH continue offering events while supporting our event host.
