Description

We're sorry, but this program / activity is over. The last meeting was Sunday, April 20, 2025.

Join Certified Association of Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT) Guide & Ornithology Center Assistant Manager, Donna Riner, for a guided Forest Bathing experience. During our time together, we will use our senses to “bathe” in our surroundings, promoting rest & relaxation through sensory connection to nature. Throughout the experience there will be opportunities for wandering short distances, sitting, standing, and sharing with others. We will meet at the Earth Discovery Center front doors at 2:00 pm and we will conclude around 4:00 pm. At the end of this experience we will share tea & snacks together. Preregistration is required, $15/participant, limited to the first 20 participants, ages 15+ welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult.
