Are you feeling isolated? Lonely? Restless?  

Have you heard about the practice of Forest Bathing? We welcome your curiosity and invite you to join us and Dr. Adriana Copeland to learn more about this Japanese restorative practice called Shinrin-Yoku, which translates into English as Forest Bathing.  

This healing nature practice is about slowing down the constant acts of “doing” in our lives and fully immersing ourselves in nature to indulge in just “being.” By honoring our relationship with the natural world, we come to understand that this interconnectedness not only restores our own health, but also improves the well being of the planet.  

Forest Bathing has been scientifically proven to boost our immune system, reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and improve cognitive function among multiple other health benefits.
