2020 spring forest bathing Wave Hill 01 2

Celebrate planet earth with some moments of grounding and mindfulness. Receive prompt invitations to engage your senses as you move through the garden on a meditative stroll with certified nature therapy guide Cindy Olsen. Benefits of Forest Bathing may include cardiovascular strength-building, stress reduction, improved cognitive functioning, boosting the immune system, and creating a deeper connection to nature and the self. Enjoy the healing benefits of the garden, then conclude with ceremonial tea. Severe weather cancels.  

Space is limited; adults only, please. Registration is required online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. If you have any questions about this program or have registration questions, please contact us information@wavehill.org or by calling the number and extension provided above.  

Walks follow a route along mixed-material pathways with varying elevations. This program could be considered a moderate hike; gentler routes with a slower pace can be made available. There will be short stops along the way where participants will also be invited to gather, share, engage and/or observe.
