I am excited to offer this special event just for y ou ladies! An evening of connection with other Nat. Lab Moms while creatin g a relationship of reciprocity with the More-Than-Human World.\n\n \; \n\n    \n\nThrough a series of carefully crafted gentle invitations par ticipants are encouraged to slow down and experience the natural world thr ough their senses.\n\nA Forest Bathing walk is about connecting deeply wit h the More-Than-Human World and ultimately connecting with the deeper plac e within.\n\nForest therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinri n-Yoku\, or forest bathing. Shinrin-Yoku can be loosely translated to “t aking in the medicine of the forest.”\n\nThe positive impact of spending time in nature has been studied worldwide and over decades. Research show s that people who practice Forest Bathing experience relief from anxiety a nd depression\, a deeper sense of mental relaxation\, have better sleep\, and an increased feeling of gratitude and overall sense of well-being.
