Do you remember wonderful times in the woods as a child? Would
you like to get back there with a little support? Shinrin-Yoku is
Japanese and literally translates into “bathing in the atmosphere of
the forest”, fully dressed! It is a gentle path for reconnecting our
human selves with the more-than-human world. Through enjoyable
invitations that engage all of our 12 (known) senses, we expand our
awareness of the forest and receive support and nourishment from
the beings who call it home. So many of us knew these connections
growing up. It’s only in recent decades that we have lost touch as a
society and an epidemic of stress-related disease and environmental
crises has ensued. Join us for a walk back to connection. This is a
very slow, easy walk on level ground. We will cover a short distance,
with plenty of benches, shade trees, singing birds, and the soothing
babble of Irondequoit Creek.
