SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Mini-Retreat
DESCRIPTION:(for adults) \nForest Bathing\, also known as Nature and Forest Therapy\, is a slow meditative walk in nature that takes a holistic view of the physiological\, mental\, emotional\, and psycho-spiritual benefits to be derived from an embodied contact with nature and aims to engage humans through their senses\, not their intellects. Forest Bathing can be viewed as an effective strategy to maintain and boost immune strength in human beings. \nEnjoy this spiritually and emotionally enriching experience on the beautiful grounds of Reeves-Reed Arboretum. Rich Collins will be the guide for this wonderful morning in nature. \nA few tips from Rich to make your walk more comfortable: \n\nThe walk will last for about 2.5 hours.\nWe will be moving slowly and using our senses to connect with nature so this will not be an athletic walk.\nPlease dress in layers so you can be comfortable with temperature changes.\nIf you wish\, you can bring sunscreen\, bug spray\, and/or water.\nRich will provide small mats to use when sitting.\n\nRich Collins is a Certified Guide for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT)\, based in Morristown & Barnegat Light\, New Jersey.  His company\, Friendly Territory\, specializes in Nature & Forest Therapy walks and retreats. He is a husband\, proud father and grandfather\, entrepreneur\, and daily meditator.  \nMember Price: $25 | Non-Member Price: $35 \nNotice: Due to ongoing construction for the Path for All project\, Arboretum parking will be unavailable Monday through Friday\, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please use street parking during these hours. Handicap parking will remain available.
