*This walk is in partnership with the wonderful foundation, Greenhound Canada.*

Forest bathing/forest therapy is founded on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, and is a slow, immersive, and embodied walk in nature, centred on experiencing your surroundings, the life therein, and the present moment with all of your senses.

Exploring the more-than-human world on a forest bathing walk often leads to experiences of soft fascination, reflection about one's life, as well as new or strengthened relationships between ourselves and the web of life that supports us.

While we know this intrinsically to be true, scientific studies have proved time and again what an incredible form of preventative medicine it is for our nervous systems, minds, and bodies to spend intentional time in nature. It is in these environments that we can truly rest, heal, and be restored and reenergized.

And so, I invite you to experience these benefits, and the mountain, in perhaps a different way.

No prior experience or knowledge is required, simply an open mind and good footwear!

The cost to participate is on a sliding scale, $20-40. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, so please message me if the cost presents a barrier for you.

Note that 5% of proceeds from each walk will be donated to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal.
