July 31st, 1:00pm at Schwan Lake (behind Simpkins Swim Center off 17th Ave)
We will start with a brief explanation of shinrin-yoku practice, plus calling the corners and a brief meditation to prepare us. Then we’ll spend an hour or more on our own, gently and reverently immersing ourselves in the sensory experience of the woods. At the end, we’ll re-assemble and share insights from our experiences, and Michelle may offer a bit of forest tea to complete the sensory immersion.
We will be outdoors for the full two hours – please dress in layers and wear comfortable clothes and shoes for spending time on a fairly easy and accessible forest trail. If you won’t be able to walk or stand for the full length of time, please bring a portable chair or stool, and we’ll help you settle in somewhere to enjoy the trees.
