Forest Therapy: Guided Therapeutic Nature Walk

A Forest Therapy Walk is a guided walk with a certified Forest Therapy guide that helps you connect your senses to nature to improve your physical and mental health. Forest Therapy is a mindful practice of immersing yourself in nature and focusing on your senses in order to quiet the mind, become present, and improve your overall health going forward. This is a scientific-based activity that anyone can participate in to help reduce stress and improve the immune system, along with other benefits. For a two-hour period, you will be given invitations that connect your senses to nature and help you experience the health benefits nature can bring, led by instructor, Josh Harris. See instructor bio below.

Additional Information: This class will take place in-person at Swan Creek Park in Athens. It will start in the parking area near the entrance (behind Athens Middle School) and finish out on the trail.
