‘Forest Bathing’ Walk at Bartlett Arboretum

Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, which translates to forest bathing, these walks have been scientifically proven to boost immune strength, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. — an announcement from Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens

Beyond the physiological changes, forest bathing offers us the opportunity to deepen our relationship with the natural world. This exercise, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will be led by Sue Smith, the founder of Roots in Nature. Her guided walks as a Certified Guide with the Association of Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT) are designed to help participants unplug, slow down, and experience nature in a whole new way. Sue is also a certified health counselor and works with individuals, groups, and organizations to promote the benefits of mindfully exploring the land around us.
