Forest Bathing at Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area

Saturday, October 18 at 1PM – 2:30PM

Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area

Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is the simple yet powerful practice of slowing down and immersing yourself in the natural world through your senses. Unlike a hike, it isn’t about covering distance or physical exercise. Instead, it’s about being fully present—listening to the rustle of leaves, breathing in the fresh forest air, noticing the play of light and shadow, and letting the sights, sounds, and scents of nature restore your mind and body.

Guided sessions create space for relaxation, reflection, and gentle exploration. Many people find forest bathing helps reduce stress, lift their mood, and foster a deeper sense of connection with nature.

Maximum number of participants: 12
