A Walk in the Forest! October 21 at 9:00 am at Umstead Park
On October 21st, from 9:00 until 11:30, Mary Pat Peters, owner of CenterPeace Garden Design, will lead us in Forest Bathing! Mary Pat has a graduate certificate in Landscape and Woody Plants from George Washington University and a BA in Psychology from Duke University. As described on her website, "Shinrin-yoku is the Japanese term for forest bathing, which is the practice of experiencing the beauty of the forest in a mindful way. Studies have shown that this practice promotes healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually." Mary Pat will gently guide us on a walk through the forest, encouraging us to intentionally connect with it by using each of our senses. We will meet at or near Shelter 1 on the Glenwood Ave entrance to Umstead Forest! Open to the first 12 people who register; others will be placed on a waiting list for a possible October 14th date! Please join us!
