FOREST BATHING
Forest bathing is a slow-paced, therapeutic experience in nature that promotes wellness through a series of gentle, sensory-opening invitations. Studies have shown that being in nature offers a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for helping to stabilize mood and improve cognition.
Connie Svoboda, Certified Forest Therapy Guide with Black Hawk County Conservation, is presently offering VIRTUAL forest bathing experiences for adults, with in-person walks planned for the future. These virtual events are audio-only through your cell phone. Participants need only to have their cell phone to experience the forest bathing event by themselves on a trail at Hartman Reserve, at any natural setting of their choosing, or even in their own backyard.

Registration deadline is 3 days prior to the event, at which time each participant will receive an email with instructions, suggestions for outer wear, a link to the audio walk, etc. Register at Black Hawk County Parks under events!
