Forest Bathing - Creating Joy

Come for a Forest Bathing Walk at High Park. 🤍

We will be exploring Creating Your Own Joy

Joy doesn’t always arrive on its own.

Sometimes, it waits for an invitation.

In a world that teaches us to postpone joy until things are finished, fixed, or figured out the forest offers a different lesson: joy can be created in the present moment, through attention, choice, and care.

This forest therapy walk is an invitation to create your own joy.

Not the loud, performative kind.

Not forced positivity.

But a steady, embodied joy that grows when we slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what feels true and nourishing.

As we move gently through the forest, you’ll be guided through simple invitations to:

• Tune into your senses

• Follow curiosity and pleasure without guilt

• Release heaviness and expectation

• Notice what brings lightness to your body and breath

Joy here is not something to achieve.

It is something to practice.

A leaf held in your hand.

A moment of ease.

A quiet yes to yourself.

The forest reminds us that joy is a skill, a relationship, and a choice we can return to again and again.

Come as you are.

Create your joy.

Carry it with you.

We will meet in front of the High park Nature Centre at:

375 Colborne Lodge Dr
