Nature Therapy and "Forest Bathing" is proven to lower blood pressure, increase circulation and ease mental stress. There are an infinite number of healing activities that can be incorporated into a walk in a forest or any other natural area. An activity is likely to be healing when it makes room for listening, for quiet and accepting presence, and for inquiry through all of the sensory modes we possess.

Join a certified forest therapy guide for this leisurely one-mile journey through R. Garland Dodd Park, then return to the Chester Library for reflection, a tea ceremony and optional nature journaling. Optional shuttle service provided from the library to the park.
