About the event

Forest Bathing Walk in the Lily Pool with JEM Nature & Forest Therapy
A Wellness Series Event: Presented by Mullen Circle Brand

About this Event


Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world through the practice of forest bathing in the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. This Wellness Series event is a collaboration between Busy Body Retreats and the Lincoln Park Conservancy, presented by Mullen Circle Brand. Thanks to Mullen Circle Brand - all tickets come with an automatic $10 discount - your cue to treat yourself and show up for your well-being.

Join Jane Wandless, Certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide and founder of JEM Nature & Forest Therapy, for a one-hour guided forest bathing walk at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool.

Forest bathing is the practice of moving mindfully and slowly through nature, inviting the senses to fully experience the sights, sounds, textures, and scents of the environment. Backed by extensive research, forest bathing has been shown to help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, ease anxiety, and foster a profound sense of calm and well-being.

During this walk, Jane will guide you through a series of gentle sensory invitations to help you slow down and reconnect to yourself and the natural world. You’ll move at an easy, unhurried pace - no hiking or strenuous activity required.

The Lily Pool will be closed to the public until 9:30am, providing a private, tranquil setting for this experience. The main entrance on Fullerton Ave will close at 8:40am to preserve this quiet space.

What to bring:

  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • Optional: water, journal

No experience is needed - this is a welcoming space for all. Come as you are, and leave feeling rested, reconnected, and renewed.


Thank you!

The Lincoln Park Conservancy
