Join ANFT certified forest therapy guide, Katie Venechuk, to explore the relaxing practice of shinrin-yoku and the beauty of Blandford Nature Center! This event begins with a brief introduction to the background and research of shirin-yoku (translated in English as "forest bathing"), how it differs from a hike in the woods, and why it's internationally recognized as an effective tool for natural stress release. From there, you'll be guided in a unique shinrin-yoku experience while exploring the beautiful forests and meadows of Blandford; helping you relax, reconnect, and experience your time in nature in a new way. [Please note this event is hosted by Blandford Nature Center]
