Starting in April, every 4th Tuesday, Andre Benoit, R. Psych and Forest Therapy Certified Guide, will be doing a 2-hour guided Forest Therapy Walk at the Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs.

During this 2-hour Forest Therapy Walk, I will guide participants through a series of invitations designed to promote health and wellness.

About this event

What is Forest Bathing? Shirin-Yoku, which is the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing, means to bath in the atmosphere of the forest. It refers to the practice of spending time in nature for the purpose of health, wellness and happiness. It is the practice of connection with the natural world and with each other. Forest Bathing is a slow-paced/ gentle walk or wander in nature.

Science has also shown the health benefits of spending time in nature. People who spend time in the forest experience a decrease in stress levels, improve outlook, focus, and energy, as well as many other health benefits.

***Please note this walk is meant to be slow in pace. Please dress warmer than you might expect. Do not expect to engage in any physical activity during walk.

Audience: Anyone Aged 15 years of Age or Older (No pets)
