College of San Mateo (openings available)
Seeking to feel more settled and to deepen your relationship with nature? The practice of Forest Therapy (also known as Forest Bathing or Shinrin-Yoku) invites participants to slow down and reconnect with the natural world by awakening the senses and quieting the mind. The practice has been scientifically proven to boost immune strength, reduce stress, and improve cognitive functioning.
Think of this walk like a gallery walk in an art museum, with nature as our works of art. On this gentle 2-hour slow wander, we will move through a series of sensory and open invitations to support you in finding your own authentic way of interacting with the natural environment while building community with your fellow participants. There's no right or wrong way to participate - just come and be yourself.
This walk is suitable for all fitness levels and wheelchair accessible. I recommend wearing layered, comfortable clothing.
