Rediscover the Unforgettable: Forest Bathing in Sylva

If you’ve heard of forest bathing, the Japanese practice of restoring mind, body and spirit through nature, here’s your chance to check it out. This hike will be led by Mark Ellison, a certified as a forest therapy guide and forest therapy trail consultant by the .

Here's how Mark describes his outings:

Forest bathing walks are 2.5 hours and are not strenuous. We will slow down, disconnect and enjoy all the beauty of nature that surrounds us. I will offer several invitations for you to experience nature through your senses. The walk ends with a relaxing tea by the creek made with plants foraged from the forest.

​My walks have been described as "bone deep relaxation, awe inspiring, restorative, spiritual, calming, peaceful, rejuvenating, immersive, a deep nature connection, the best day ever," and much, much more.

This walk is on the only certified forest therapy trail in North Carolina.

Fee for this event is $35, payable to Mark at paypal.me/PinnacleFT.
