Wellness Wednesday: Forest Therapy, led by an Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT) Certified Guide.

Transportation: A limited number of van seats are available for this event. See the event listing at CentredOutdoors.org/events for more information.

Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so the program can begin promptly at 6:00 PM.

During a Forest Therapy walk, the trained Forest Therapy guide uses a clearly defined sequence of events and invitations in partnership with the forest which allows participants to slow down, allow the senses to open, and to experience the environment using all of the awakened senses to deepen the reciprocal relationship between participants and the forest. This supports the wholeness and well-being of both.

The invitations are open-ended. There is no expectation for how to participate or what you experience or receive. Rather, you spend time in silence, listening and feeling with a quiet and accepting presence. You become reconnected with your senses and your innate creative potential is tapped, which allows the imagination to awaken.

Wellness Wednesdays are part of Centred Outdoors' efforts to offer equitable opportunities for outdoor recreation at nearby natural spaces. The series highlights paths to wellness, engages the community, and includes local partners.
