Forest Bathing
Studies have demonstrated that spending time in nature can lead to a measurable reduction in stress hormones, as well as improvements in immunity, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, mood, and cognition. Rooted in ancient Japanese traditions, forest bathing is a full sensory experience that invites us to connect deeply with the natural world, calm our minds, and experience a sense of peace and well-being.
Join this in-person class to discover the art of forest bathing and experience the benefits of being in nature through a guided sensory immersion. Led by a certified forest therapy guide, you will have the opportunity to awaken your senses and connect with nature in a deeper and more meaningful way.
The guided experience will take place at the Stanford Campus in the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a fresh perspective in your life, this class is the perfect opportunity to recharge and refresh your mind, body, and soul.
This is an in-person class and will not be recorded. Attendance at the live session is required to receive incentive points.
