Forest Therapy - Summer Sunrise Session
With Julie Kanak
June 27, 2027
Enjoy the therapeutic impact of a guided walk through the woods and lakefront of the Siena grounds based on the practice of Forest Therapy.
Each two-hour experience will include brief explanations of the history and science of Forest Therapy, personal reflection time, and community building. These guided events provide structure and opportunity for creativity and serendipity. Come use your senses, then take time for tea with the group.
Based on the Japanese practice of “forest bathing,” Forest Therapy is a science-based experience of wellness and connection with natural environments. It is based on the principle that we humans are a part of nature, not separate from it, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways. People with limited mobility are welcome — please signify on the registration form in “Special Needs.”
