Forest bathing is a nature connection experience inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku. These offerings will offer you the opportunity to slow down, explore your inherent and deep connections to the natural world, and access the Earth’s nourishment that is always available. Misako will guide you in various nature connection practices and teach you the foundations of the ancient, life sustaining practice of Qigong (pronounced "chee gong" ). You will be invited to wander, be curious, and open to your childlike wonder and playfulness.
