Forest Bathing - Mohonk Preserve

  • Mohonk Preserve - Duck Pond Trailhead (map)

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.  Join for any one or all of this 3-part monthly series on Saturdays.  Each month 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.
