Join Amber on a gentle, guided walk in nature that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the natural world through all your senses. Rooted in the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, it is not a hike or exercise but a way to experience the forest with presence and curiosity. The walk unfolds slowly, with frequent pauses, simple invitations, and opportunities to notice, reflect, and just be. The full experience should take about 2.5 hours and is suitable for all fitness levels.
Where to meet: Location to be provided to registrants.
