Forest Therapy Walk at West Park Nature Center

Join me for a Forest Therapy walk at this lovely park which boasts wooded areas, wetlands, a small stream, and flowering meadows. As we make our way along the paths, we will pause at different sit spots where you will be invited to quietly engage in each of your senses and connect with nature. This deeply personal experience will be unique for everyone. After each invitation you will have an opportunity, if you choose, to share your thoughts with the group. Our walk will close with a Tea Ceremony. During this time we will show our gratitude for all the positive health benefits we receive from nature and reflect on our journey to wellness.

Participants should wear comfortable layers to prepare for the current weather. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Walkways vary between grass, dirt, and gravel paths with possible muddy spots and gradual hilly elevations. I would rate this as moderate physical activity. A refillable water bottle is suggested.

I will provide sit-upons for our sensory invitations. You are welcome to bring a lightweight camp chair or stool should you need one. An outdoor bathroom facility is available at this location.

*Registration is required with advance payment to reserve your spot. Space is limited to 12 participants. Walk-ups can not be accommodated.

*Open to Adults and Youth 14+ (with an adult).

*Signed Waiver of Liability is required prior to walk. Please download and review both sides of document (linked above), sign and bring with you or sign one upon arrival at the event.
