Forest Bathing Walk with Robert Bray
Immerse yourself in the natural splendor of Sierra Hot Springs, deepen your connection to its healing powers, and discover the simple pleasures of nature that are right here just for us with a forest bathing guided walk by Robert Bray. Forest Bathing (or Forest Therapy) is a slow, gentle and meditative wander, activated by invitations offered by the guide and designed to deepen your sensory connection to nature. It is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or “bathing in the atmosphere of the forest,” developed to foster well-being and good health through the embodiment of the healing powers of nature. We won’t walk far, it’s not a hike, we won’t literally bathe in water. Walks last about 90 minutes. The focus is on connection to and relationship with the more than human world. Bring your curiosity, wear sturdy shoes, bring water if needed.
