Fall Equinox Forest Therapy

FALL EQUINOX FOREST THERAPY: Join us for a morning of forest therapy at the Arnold Arboretum! We will connect deeply with our senses and the nature around us, and find peace as we immerse ourselves in the restorative natural environment. Forest therapy is not a strenuous hike or a naturalist walk; this practice is simply about slowing down and being present without the need to “do” anything. This practice is both personal and communal - we’ll slowly meander, participating in a series of sensory based invitations, and then come together as a group to share. This practice is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, or “forest bathing,” with many research-backed physical and mental benefits. This walk is pay what you'd like, in order for this practice to be accessible for everyone. Please pay what's right for you, but below is my suggested pricing: - $10 (accessible price): for low-income people, people in professions who experience burnout (education, healthcare, etc.), and anyone else where a lower price would support them in accessing this practice - $25 (standard price): for those who are able to pay the standard price - $40 (supportive price): for those who would like to pay more than the standard price to support others Devon Oberle (she/her) is a forest therapy guide, certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). Devon's guiding practice is informed by her background as a teacher, working with high schoolers with social-emotional disabilities, by her social justice work, and by her love of the natural world. Devon is passionate about the ways that forest therapy can promote community, belonging, and health for all beings. Note: Registration required. A few days before our walk you will receive directions about our meeting point and other important info!
