SUMMARY:Kid's Forest Bathing - Friday\, May 24th
DESCRIPTION:\nForest Bathing with Kids Morning Series (4 of 4)\n\n\nHi ther
 e! I'm Monica\, your certified Forest Therapy Guide. I am thrilled to have
  you and your child join this engaging practice that supports connection a
 nd awareness of our bodies and the world around us.\n\nForest Bathing\, al
 so known as shinrin yoku is a practice that originated in Japan in the ear
 ly 80s in response to a pandemic of various mental and physical health iss
 ues. The goal of forest bathing is to live in the present moment while im
 mersing your senses in the sights and sounds of a natural setting.\n\nThis
  Forest Bathing Adventure will be suited for children ages 4 and up. The p
 ractice of Forest Bathing is open-ended\, with no predetermined outcome\, 
 but rather focuses on fostering a reciprocal relationship between the "for
 est" (any natural setting) and the participant. To provide structure\, the
 re is a clearly defined sequence of guided events that allows for creativi
 ty and serendipity while embracing individual inspiration.\n\nWhat to expe
 ct:\n\nParents must stay with their child and are encouraged to participat
 e in the experience. This is also an opportunity for you to slow down and 
 embody the world around you.  I will offer you and your child "invitation
 s" which are various ways to interact with\, The More-Than-Human World als
 o known as "Nature".\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Bring: We will be outsid
 e through the entire experience.  \n(Dress)Forest Bathing / Forest Thera
 py is an experience that slows your body. This means that your body will n
 ot be producing any extra energy/heat. It is important to bring extra laye
 rs so you can add/take off to ensure you are comfortable.  There are gras
 sy areas so it is ideal to wear pants and long socks - in some areas there
  are stickers and/or possibility of ticks.   Pants are not required but 
 they tend to make participants more comfortable.\n \nEvery child must bri
 ng (Water/Snack) \n\n\n 	Please be sure to bring your child a reusable wa
 ter bottle \n 	Bring a light snack (snack to be eaten at the end - with t
 he group) Please communicate with me if your child has allergies of any ki
 nd.\n\n\n(Additional Items) We will be outside through the entire experien
 ce so you may want to bring/wear the following: Hat\, Sunscreen\, Sunglass
 es\, Insect Repellant. Oftentimes children like to bring a small backpack 
 to keep their belongings. Some children like to bring a drawing pad with a
  writing utensil. This is not required. \n \nParent's Role / Info: Fore
 st Bathing is a sensory journey allowing you AND your child to be present
  in the current moment. A parent's role is a support role primarily for sa
 fety/boundaries. You are welcome and encouraged to participate in the "inv
 itations" that will be provided. More for younger children\, but if your c
 hild seeks your attention then please know that you can comfort them. It i
 s ideal that you do not direct your child unless necessary for safety. We 
 each find our own individual ways to connect with the More-Than-Human Worl
 d. We want to trust the open process. The more direction given ends up lim
 iting the child's ability to navigate the world independently with their o
 wn curious mind.  There is no right or wrong way to interpret the\, "inv
 itations" offered. Please note that this is not a Forest School. There is 
 no specific learning objective that will take place. The experience is foc
 used on mindfulness and embodiment.\nI am excited to share this experience
  with you!  Please reach out with any questions.\n\n\nSending Sunshine\,\
 nMonica\n\nInvestment: $20.00 for first child. $5.00 for each additional s
 ibling. Parents are free and included with registration.\nAge group: Exper
 ience is geared towards ages 4-12. If children are younger than age 4 they
  can still participate\, just know that they may need additional parent su
 pport.\n\nDate: Friday\, May 24th\nTime: 8:30-11:00am\nLocation: Schweitze
