Forest Bathing at the Garden by Toronto Botanical Garden
As per website:
Connect with nature and join us for a guided forest therapy walk!
Welcome Spring and rekindle your relationship with nature through a guided outdoor Forest Bathing walk with certified forest therapy guide Laura Bincik. At a slow pace and in community with other participants and the environment, you will be guided by a series of invitations throughout the experience to awaken your senses and intentionally connect with nature in the present moment.
We will gather briefly indoors to prepare for the walk and consider the origin of Forest Bathing as well as some of the benefits of the practice. When we venture into the Toronto Botanical Gardens and surrounding ravine, we will cover a loop of approx.1.5 Km on paved pathways, flat and bare ground, at times encountering uneven terrain, inclines and declines. It may be slippery! We will be strolling, standing and sitting (if you wish to). Your comfort and safety are most important! As this is an outdoor winter program at a slow pace, please ‘over’ dress for the weather and wear thermal socks and under layers, a sweater, a winter jacket, winter pants and sturdy winter boots. Mittens, a scarf and a winter hat are a must! You may wish to bring a day pack, water bottle, sunglasses, walking poles and/or a folding stool or sitting/kneeling pad.
As the walk ends, we will gather and partake in a seasonal tea, snacks and taste honey harvested at Toronto Botanical Garden.
This outdoor program runs in all conditions. In the case of severe or dangerous weather, you will be informed by TBG if program is cancelled as early as possible.
Washrooms are available onsite.
The program is suited for adults 18+. All participants must sign a liability waiver at the start of the program.
