In Japanese Shinrin-Yoku loosely means, “forest bathing,” or immersing oneself in the atmosphere of nature. An introductory 30-minute talk provides insight to Shinrin-Yoku, followed by a gentle, slow-moving, and silent walk through the gardens. Your guide will provide the prompts that make this a deeply sensorial experience. Take-home prompts and a light refreshment will be provided. Please dress for the weather.

Instructor: Kate Bast, Shinrin-Yoku Madison

This class will be held at Olbrich Botanical Gardens on Tuesday, June 4 9-11 a.m.
