Service Description

Experience Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) with Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner, a licensed somatic-based therapist and Certified Japanese Shinrin Yoku/Forest Therapy Guide. Shinrin Yoku is an opportunity to commune with nature through the invitation of slowing down and experiencing the natural world through your five senses. By immersing yourself in nature’s sights, sounds, scents, textures, and rhythms, you can cultivate a deeper connection with both nature and the self. This simple but rich practice has been shown to reduce stress, strengthen immunity, enhance mood regulation, and improve focus. This event is a partnership between Slow Life Experience and TELL. TELL is a nonprofit organization that provides mental health support for the international community of Japan through their free and anonymous Lifeline, professional counseling services, and community outreach programs. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to funding these vital initiatives at TELL. Event limited to 10 people.
