Location: Education Barn

Fee: $20 per person
Pre-registration Required.
Description: Celebrate the Winter Solstice at Pineland Farms as we honor and acknowledge the changing season around us and the return of the light. Join us for a seasonal Forest Bathing practice led by Hughes Kraft, a Certified Nature Forest Therapy Guide. Hughes loves to share his knowledge and love of the spectacular landscapes of Maine, while connecting to the individual wellness goals of his participants.
Forest Bathing is a two-hour opportunity to slow down and connect with oneself while connecting with nature. It is not a destination hike or a naturalist walk. It is an invitation to explore the relationship between being human and the more-than-human world and connect with the health and wellness within oneself and quiet the nervous system.
Please dress warmly and bring a light source as the program will be held at dusk. Snowshoes will be available for participants, if needed.
