Step outside - mindfully - and feel the difference.  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.
