Forest Bathing: A Virtual Experience; August 2020 Dates

The concept of forest bathing grew out of a practice in Japan called Shinrin-yoku that spread to China and Korea and now to the United States.  It is about swimming in the living being of the forest: drinking in the smells, feeling the breeze on your skin, hearing it move through the trees, soaking up the warm healing rays of the sun and touching the earth with awareness.  The walk becomes a meditation through which you can experience your deep interconnectedness with Nature and the forest.

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History gives you a very special opportunity to deepen your relationship with nature because of the unique environment provided by marsh, creek, forest, dunes and beach. Join Field Guide Carol Marcy on a virtual guided walk where you will be shown how to pay attention in a new way that will create a sense of greater health, well-being and appreciation of the beauty in you and around you. Following the screening, Carol will answer any questions you may have, then, take a self-guided walk on the Wing Island Trail or Lee Baldwin Trail and practice what you have just learned!

Q&A will follow the video with Carol Marcy
