- **Event Description**: 🌿 Forest Bathing & Grounding Nature Gathering

Step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the natural world.

Join us for a peaceful Forest Bathing experience, where we will slow down, walk gently through nature, and allow the forest to calm the nervous system and restore our energy.

Forest bathing (inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku) is not about hiking or exercise. It is about being present with the trees, the earth, the air, and your breath.

Together we will:

• Take a mindful walk through the forest preserve
• Pause to connect with the sounds, smells, and beauty of nature
• Gather on the hill where we will remove our shoes and feel the earth beneath our feet
• Experience a gentle guided meditation with grounding and light breathwork
• Share a relaxed picnic-style lunch afterward

Grounding our bare feet on the earth helps us slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with the natural rhythms of the body.

What to Bring

• A blanket or yoga mat
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Water
• Your own lunch for our relaxed picnic gathering

What to Expect

This will be a gentle, welcoming experience. No experience with meditation is necessary — just come with an open mind and a willingness to slow down.

Let the forest hold you while you breathe, ground, and reconnect.

🌿 As part of our gathering, we will also take part in a gentle release ritual. You are invited to bring a small piece of paper and write down anything you feel ready to release—old thoughts, worries, patterns, or anything weighing on your heart. At the hill, we will place rose petals in a bowl of water, symbolizing compassion and renewal. During our meditation, you will be invited to quietly release your words into the water, allowing nature to witness your intention to let go and create space for something new.

This is a free community gathering, offered from the heart. If you feel called to support future events and the space at Divine Awakening Wellness Studio, optional donations are welcome but never expected.
