10:00 am: Forest Bathing Walk at The Washington Park Arboretum


December 14, 2024

Cost: $25, advance registration required. Forest bathing has been popular in Japan for decades & is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace & take in the atmosphere around you. These walks are slow-paced & generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time the guide will offer a series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down & open their senses. More information: botanicgardens.uw.edu/about/events/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D176487693, urbhort@uw.edu or 206-685-8033. Starts at the Graham Visitors Center.
