SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Celebration - A Guided Forest Bathing Experience
DESCRIPTION:Welcome in the season of summer with a guided mindful stroll along the meadow\, river\, and forest of Pleasant Valley Preserve. Enjoy a gentle mindful movement sequence\, nature meditation\, and opportunities to connect with the natural world along the way.

The session concludes with tea together. \nThe walk is about 1-mile round trip over easy to moderate terrain. \nRegistration: free\nRegister here. \nRain or shine event. Challenging weather cancels. \nForest 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.  \nRegan Stacey is an artist and advocate for the Earth whose passion is to reconnect humans to nature for personal and planetary well-being. She believes we can all awaken the forest within. She is co-founder of The Forest Therapy School\, a forest therapy guide training program. Through her private practice\, she offers forest bathing walks\, mindful nature retreats\, and mindfulness training. Regan is also the facilitator of the LLT Tree Collective\, connecting teens to nature through stewardship\, education\, and exploration.
