Restore the senses in a guided woods tour
Event has passed
“Bathe” in the forest with the Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust on Wednesdays until Sept. 18, following the Japanese principles of Shrinrin-yoku.
From 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., those interested can follow a trained guide at 19 Chase Road for a slow-paced and quiet wander in the Paskamansett Woods. The practice of Shinrin-yoku helps bring people back to their senses, according to the DNRT, and has been scientifically proven to increase well being, calm and restoration.
This is a slower pace than most DNRT walks and will include periods of sitting and contemplation. Attendees are encouraged to bring a towel or blanket to sit on as well as bug spray. Children over 10 are invited so long as they are comfortable with extended periods of quiet.
Registration is free, but required: https://dnrt.org/product/let-nature-speak-a-sensory-immersion/
