Nature/Nurture: Forest Bathing
Sunday, May 4
1PM – 2:30PM
Calm your mind and body with a forest bathing session at Pyramid Hill! Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku (“Bathing in the Healing Elements of the Forest”) is an evidence-based practice from Japan that quiets the mind by gently re-awakening our five senses - sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The session involves a slow guided walk, a sequence of soothing, nature-based readings, moments of stillness, and poetry that will be led by Pam Lowe Cho, ANFT-Certified Forest Therapy Guide. You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to reap the rewards of reconnecting with the serenity of nature.
Adult Workshop: Tea Blending with Native Plants
Saturday, May 10

Cass will teach participants about the health benefits of each tea element and explore the benefits of ingredients native and local to Ohio. Leave the workshop with your own customized tea blend to enjoy at home! This program is best suited for adults and teens.
