SUMMARY:Tend to Your Light: Botanical Self-Care Workshop
DESCRIPTION:(adults and teens) \nStep into a little pocket of magic—where science sparkles and plants have stories to tell with Lightcraft Studio. \nIn this 90-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 “potion” (no spells required… or maybe just a few 😉): a 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. \nAll materials are included: herbs\, oils\, salts\, notepads\, pens\, affirmation cards\, and your take-home creation. \nNo experience necessary. \nMember Price: $80 | Non-Member Price: $85

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.
