Forest Bathing with Agnes

Meet us at the Nature House for a forest bathing walk!

The walk will begin at 10:00am and go until about 11:30am. We encourage you to arrive 10-15 minutes early. There are washroom facilities on site, plenty of parking, and plenty of woods to explore after.

We will be walking under half a kilometer on a relatively smooth, wide forest trail with minimal to no elevation gain.

A light snack and tea will be provided at the end.

Cost: $15

What is forest bathing?

Forest bathing, Forest therapy and Shinrin-Yoku broadly means taking in the forest atmosphere with all one's senses. Not simply a walk in the woods, it’s a conscious, contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest. By immersing ourselves in nature and engaging our senses, we can reap the many benefits such as improved immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, and reduced stress.

Facilitator: Agnes Kedmenecz (bio coming soon!)

We respect the vital relationships of First Peoples with these lands and waters for countless generations. We welcome Indigenous guidance and collaboration in stewardship and appreciation of the Nature Sanctuary. ​
