Join local arborist Shawn Walker of Trees 101 for a forest bathing walk at Eidolon Nature Preserve. “Forest bathing” originates from a Japanese practice called shinrin-yoku, which means “taking in the forest.” This will be a slow paced, mindful time spent in the woods and an opportunity to reconnect with the natural world.

There will be a short hike at the beginning and end but very little physical activity overall, with plenty of time to just sit and be. Light refreshments are provided but please come prepared with whatever you need to be comfortable over a 2.5 to 3 hour timeframe.

The event will be held rain or shine although may be cancelled for severe weather; in the event of cancellation, participants will be notified by 8 a.m. day-of the event.

Space is limited to 8 participants. Please register using the form below. Program fees will go directly toward supporting PVAS.

Please email Shawn (quercusjsw@yahoo.com) if you have any food allergies or if you will be bringing emergency medications (epi-pen, nitro glycerin, etc.) that we should be aware of.
