Join us for a full moon guided forest therapy walk at Seven Bends State Park and experience the health and wellness benefits of Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese practice of “forest bathing. By the light of the full moon, your guide, Kristine Villatoro, a certified trained Forest Therapy Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) will guide you through sensory invitations to help you slow down, awaken your senses, and reconnect with nature. Forest Therapy, or shinrin yoku, is the simple practice of taking in the woods through the senses for health benefits. The benefits are immense: boosted immunity, lowered blood pressure and heart rate, improved attention and mood, and hitting the reset button on life.

This program is reserved for participants over the age of 15. Meet by the canoe launch at the Lupton entrance. Please bring outdoor chairs to allow yourself to be comfortable.
