8:30 am - 11 am
Purser-Hulsey Park
13201 Phillips Road
Matthews, NC 28105
Cost: $25/person for the 2.5-hour workshop
Join Angie Stegall, award winning author and ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guide, for this 2.5-hour Forest Therapy experience.
Forest Therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku or "Forest Bathing";
which includes a gentle walk, invitations for stillness and exploration, and sharing with
others in the group. In the practice of Forest Therapy, participants are guided into nature
step-by-step and invited to engage each of their five senses.
The growing body of scientific knowledge demonstrates the benefits of spending time in
nature, as a wellness practice, and as an effective way to manage stress.
Join us for this journey with the more-than-human world at Purser-Hulsey Park in
Matthews to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world
around you.
Our time together will include:
- Introduction to Forest Therapy
- Sensorial nature experiences
- A handful of guided Forest Bathing invitations
- Sharing / listening circles
- Closing circle
Participants often share that their stress dissolves, confusion lifts, insights awaken — and
they take home a renewed sense of connection, meaning and purpose in their lives.
