SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Autumnal Equinox
DESCRIPTION:(for adults) \nThe Autumn Equinox marks a profound turning point in the natural world\, when day and night exist in perfect balance before the season gently shifts toward shorter days and longer nights. Celebrated across cultures as a time of harvest\, gratitude\, and reflection\, the equinox invites us to pause and acknowledge the cycles of change that shape both the natural world and our own lives. As the leaves transform and the landscape prepares for winter’s rest\, we are reminded of the beauty of transition\, the importance of balance\, and our deep connection to the rhythms of the earth. \nEmbracing this celestial event encourages mindfulness\, gratitude\, and a profound sense of astonishment\, all benefits derived from Forest Bathing. What better way to celebrate this auspicious day than with a Forest Bathing walk at the Arboretum as we renew our connection to the natural world. Limited availability\, so book your place soon at this very special event. \nA few tips from Rich to make your walk more comfortable: \n\nThe walk will last for about 2.5 hours. We 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.\nThe walk will be postponed in the event of inclement weather.\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 \nCancellations made more than 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund minus a 20% administrative fee. If you cancel within 48 hours of the program\, you may reschedule for another date\, but refunds are not available.

(Please include food allergies or restrictions in the comment section) \n\nRETREAT WORKSHOPS \nForest Bathing with Rich Collins \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. It 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. \nTend Your Light: Botanical Self Care with Lightcraft Studio \nStep into a little pocket of magic—where science sparkles and plants have stories to tell with Lightcraft Studio. \nIn this 60-minute immersive experience\, we’ll blend a touch of brain science with botanical wisdom to create rituals that feel both meaningful and a little enchanted. Through guided reflection\, scent\, and story\, you’ll uncover a personalized affirmation—something that feels like it was waiting just for you. \nYou’ll mix and craft your own luxurious sea salt scrub infused with herbs\, oils\, and intention to take home and use as part of your ritual. Expect to get your hands involved\, your senses awakened\, and your imagination gently stirred. You’ll leave with something tangible\, something personal\, and a simple morning practice that brings a bit of magic into your everyday life. \nThe Gentle Reset: Reflection\, Renewal & Intention with Maureen Lennon-Schafer\, LCSW  \nJoin Maureen Lennon-Schafer\, founder of Presence of Mind Therapy\, alongside members of her team as they offer insights into inner reflection and internal experiencing as a way to reflect and reset. Following psych-education on the Polyvagal Theory and the use of breath to regulate the nervous system\, you will be guided through the chakras in a simple\, sustainable practice. Once you receive the foundation offered to all clients at Presence of Mind Therapy\, you will have the option to continue this practice at home as a way to hold on to regulation\, relaxation\, and a deeper ability to be present amongst all of life’s stressors. \nMaureen’s talk and the salt scrub workshop will both take place indoors in the beautiful Wisner House. \nCANCELLATIONS: No cancellations\, rain or shine. \nMember Price: $175 | Non-Member Price: $200

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 \nCancellations made more than 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund minus a 20% administrative fee.
