Nature Meditation at Inness
This 60-minute nature meditation is held within the woodlands and meadows of INNESS and is open to Hotel Guests and Community Members. Nature Meditation is a preventative self-care practice to counter the daily stress of everyday life. Even after small periods of time in a natural environment, we experience measurable physical and mental health benefits, including reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol, improved mood and focus. This guided experience incorporates breath awareness, mindful walking and quiet nature observation to bring awareness to the present moment while observing the wonder of the natural world.

Forest Bathing hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County
Saturday June 1, 2024 at Rochester Hollow near Big Indian, NY
Two Sessions to Choose From: 9:00-11:30 or 12:30-3:00
This unique day hosted by the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County focuses our awareness on the Ashokan Watershed. Choose from 2 Forest Bathing Programs.
Step outside - mindfully - and feel the difference. For your body, release stress, breathe fresh air, and get moving. For your mind, settle your awareness on nature's soothing atmosphere. For your spirit, venture into the woods to gain inspiration from the living earth. Forest Bathing is more a saunter than hiking or exercise. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yokus, this guided experience leads you through a series of sensory invitations to bring awareness to the present moment while observing the wonder of the natural world. This sort of mindful time in nature brings a host of physical and mental health benefits, including measureable reduction in the stress hormone cortisol, reduced anxiety, improved mood, focus and sleep. Pre-registration required. Details to be provided at a later date.

Forest Bathing - Manitoga
Manitoga - In the Landscape
Join in the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing. Unlike a typical walk in the woods, Forest Bathing is slower and more deliberate, allowing our bodies and minds to reset in the natural environment we evolved from. Nature exposure lowers blood pressure and heart rate, reduces stress, and boosts our immune system and mood. Reconnect with nature, oneself and others. Space is limited, reservations required through https://www.visitmanitoga.org/2022-calendar. Fee is $30 per person.
Forest Bathing - Inness Resort
Step outside - mindfully - and feel the difference. This Mindful Woods Walk is more a saunter than hiking or exercise. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing, this guided experience allows to shift from our thinking minds, where we spend most of our time, to a direct sensory experience of what’s around us in the natural world. It’s no surprise that this connection is essential for our health and well-being as our human species evolved in the outdoors. Even after small amounts of time in nature, the science shows that our bodies respond with a lowering of our stress hormone cortisol, reduced anxiety, improved mood, focus and sleep. More than the science, nature connects us to ourselves and to others.
Join for any one or all of this 3-part series. Each month in September, October, November we explore a unique aspect of Forest Bathing from embodiment, to species loneliness and relationship, to our sense of time. The cost per person for Mohonk Preserve members: $20/session, $55/series. The cost for non-members: $23/session, $62/series.
