Urban Shinrin Yoku Walk

Visit this urban oasis to reconnect with the landscape and in turn, with your inner-landscape, yourself and others. Soak in the sounds, scents and sights of nature through a series of place-based nature connection invitations. Experience the healing effects of the more-than-human world (the landscape, waters, forest and fauna) on your head, heart and body. Celebrate and share the experience in council and with a tea ceremony made with site-specific wild plants. Notice the magic that occurs when you slow your body and open your heart to the natural world for a few hours—a restorative practice referred to in Japan as Shinrin Yoku or Forest Bathing.
