Forest Bathing at Rhoneymeade

Forest Bathing at Rhoneymeade

led by Anne Marie Nachman, Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT) Certified Guide.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so the program can begin promptly at 1:00 PM.

During a Forest Bathing walk, the trained Forest Therapy guide uses a clearly defined sequence of events and invitations in partnership with the forest which allows participants to slow down, allow the senses to open, and to experience the environment using all of the awakened senses to deepen the reciprocal relationship between participants and the forest. This supports the wholeness and well-being of both.

The invitations are open-ended. There is no expectation for how to participate or what you experience or receive. Rather, you spend time in silence, listening and feeling with a quiet and accepting presence. You become reconnected with your senses and your innate creative potential is tapped, which allows the imagination to awaken.

How To Prepare:

• Dress warmly and for the weather: layers, sturdy shoes, hats and gloves if necessary.
• Bring bottled water to stay hydrated.
• Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so the program can begin promptly at 1:00 PM.
• Sorry, no pets are permitted at Rhoneymeade.
