SUMMARY:Forest Bathing at Arrowhead
DESCRIPTION:Join licensed leader Kathleen Schoenberg on a new adventure in ecotherapy. Start your Sunday with a guided\, gentle stroll on the peaceful nature trail at Arrowhead. Forest bathing can elevate your mood\, reduce stress and improve your health. The walk will be less than a mile and includes several breaks for meditation and mindful activities.\nThe term “forest bathing” emerged in Japan in the 1980s as a physiological and psychological exercise called shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing” or “taking in the forest atmosphere”). The purpose was twofold: to offer an eco-antidote to tech-boom burnout and to inspire residents to reconnect with and protect the country’s forests. \n$25 BCHS members\, $30 non-members\nUse the BOOK NOW button to reserve tickets.\nThis event is sponsored by Greylock Federal Credit Union\, Massachusetts Cultural Council.
