Forest Bathing; Earth Day Celebration April 22nd

Your Bridge to Health; Promoting Optimal Wellness for Mind, Body and Spirit

Earth Day. Saturday April 22nd. 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Gloucester MA.

Shinrin-yoku, (forest bathing) the Japanese practice of making contact with and taking in the atmosphere of the forest. Studies show that forest environments:

promote lower concentrations of cortisol (stress hormone,)
lower pulse rate,
lower blood pressure,
boost the immune system,
lower sympathetic nerve activity (decreased stress)
greater parasympathetic nerve activity (increased relaxation.)

Join us for a gentle walk and meditation in nature and experience the health benefits of shinrin-yoku. On this leisurely walk you will be encouraged to use all of your senses as you allow the beautiful setting in nature to lower your stress levels, boost your immune system and improve your overall health. No experience with meditation necessary.

Simple breathing relaxation and meditation exercises will be taught.

Advance Registration Required. Register Early (Limited to 10 people.) ‘By Donation.’ For more details and to register – info@dreamtimewellness.com or phone – 978-283-4258.
