Summertime Forest Bathing at Penn Forest Natural Burial Park

Forest Bathing at Penn Forest Natural Burial Park
Dig into the vitality of summer with forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. The warmth and color of the season invite us to slow down and immerse ourselves in the energies of the forest. During this walk we’ll engage our senses and deepen our connection with nature and ourselves. Through gentle invitations, you’ll be guided to explore the sights, sounds, and textures of the season, fostering relaxation and presence. The walk will conclude with a shared reflection and tea. No experience is needed, just a willingness to be present.

Please bring a water bottle and dress for the weather. I'll provide sit-upons, but feel free to bring a blanket, journal or any other comfort items. The trail has a short descent, so sturdy footwear is recommended. We'll walk in light rain, but I will cancel for heavy rain or thunderstorms. Come with curiosity and a readiness to connect with nature. Look forward to seeing you there!
