Forest bathing?! What – and why?! Forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) broadly means using all one’s senses to take in the forest atmosphere. Not simply a walk in the woods, it is the “conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest”. No soap or towel needed – just an interest in experiencing the peace and wonder of a guided walking meditation that is deeply relaxing and energizing at the same time.

Our lead bather will be Margan Glover, who enjoys facilitating forest bathing walks for small groups. Our 1-1/2 mile walk over well-groomed paths will take place at CBEC (Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center) in Grasonville, and last about 1-1/2 hours. We’ll have an opportunity to sit in at least 2 locations along the way.

PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE! The CBEC access road can sometimes flood, and we’ll try to reach registered participants if plans have to change.

To learn more about forest bathing in general or this walk in particular, contact Margan at Margan.OurQAH@gmail.com.
