Taking slow time for yourself...
Early Morning Forest Bathing
TUNING INTO NATURE'S MORNING RHYTHMS
Yoyogi Park • Saturday, October 25 • 7:30am-9:30am
The early morning quiet of Tokyo blankets the city in a peaceful ease. We'll meander in the morning dew to the sounds of the birds in this vast urban green space of Yoyogi Park connecting in with the natural morning rhythms. Forest Bathing is the opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and rekindle our relationship with the land. We will end our time together with a tea circle centered on community connection. Limited to 6 people. Pre-registration required.
Your guide is Michelle, a trained & certified Shinrin Yoku guide who specializes in guiding people to slow down, connect with their body, and commune with nature.
SPECIAL NOTE: This early morning forest bathing session takes place just before the Earth Autumn Garden event that will be held in the nearby Yoyogi Event Plaza from 10am-5pm. The Earth Autumn Garden is a free community-oriented festival focusing on ecological and organic lifestyles. It will feature live music, handmade crafts, and eco-friendly products. A nice pairing with our morning nature connection.
