!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.

Join us in celebration of the Summer Solstice as we welcome the longest day of the year. Honor the light of the Earth and the light in you. Special activities include a group mandala in honor of Earth on this special day.

On this 2-hour forest bathing walk, you’ll be guided on a gentle, mindful stroll. Leave your stresses behind and connect with the healing powers of nature. As we walk along the easy one-mile trail, your certified forest therapy guide, Regan Stacey, will offer you a series of sensory-opening “invitations” designed to help you connect with the natural world in your own authentic way.

The walk concludes with a wild-foraged tea.

Folding stools are available for your use, or bring along your own stool or sit mat.

Rain or shine. Heavy rain cancels. If canceled, an email will go out 2 hours prior to the walk.

Parking: Please park in the lot on MacIntosh Road just off Rt. 156. If the lot is full, please park along the road.

$32.00 per person. Registration required. Lyme Land Trust members receive 15% off with the discount code LLT15.

Regan Stacy is the founder of Awaken the Forest Within, an organization that offers forest bathing walks. Forest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku – taking in the forest atmosphere. As a growing global wellness movement, it is backed by nearly 40 years of scientific research on the holistic benefits of immersing yourself in nature. These benefits include reduced stress and blood pressure, increased creativity and focus, improved mood and sleep, and a boost to immune functions.
