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

Happy Valentine’s Day! Make a date with nature and share the love. This forest bathing walk revolves around the theme of LOVE – for oneself, others, and the more-than-human-world that makes it all possible. Give and receive some love from the forest on this Valentine’s Day.

The location has been changed to Banningwood Preserve. The walk is about 1-mile over easy terrain.
Invitations to deepen your connection with nature will be offered along the way.

The walk concludes with a wild-foraged tea ceremony in honor of the land.

$30.00 per person. Registration required. Lyme Land Trust members receive 15% off with the discount code LLT15. To register. 

The group is limited. Social distancing guidelines will be followed. Please wear a mask to the parking lot meet-up.

Folding stools are available for your use or bring along your own stool or sit upon (towel, cloth or mat) for our sitting sessions. Bench seats are available at the bonfire. You may wish to bring along some water or a warm beverage. There are no restrooms at the preserve.

Regan Stacy is the founder of Awaken the Forest Within, an organization that offers forest bathing walks. Forest bathing is a supportive practice that invites us to slow down, open our senses, and engage with nature and ourselves as we take in the restorative health benefits of being in the forest. These benefits include lowered stress, blood pressure, and heart rate, increased creativity and focus, and a boost to our immune system. Leave calm and refreshed for the day ahead.
