Description

Forest Bathing Hikes In Person June 22, July 27, August 24 Free for Members Immerse yourself in nature and let the forest help you find a sense of renewal. Our Forest Bathing hikes are a wellness therapy that helps you combat the "nature deficit disorder" that so many urban dwellers experience. Take time to breathe deep and benefit from our mountain forest's bounty. A study of the Japanese tradition of forest bathing, shinrin-yoku, found that calm excursions into the forest actually reduce stree hormones, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness. Get your dose of nature and sisterhood on one of these Thrive Creativity Community hikes.
