Have you heard of the Japanese term Shinrin-yoku?  Translated to English it means “Forest Bathing”. Simply put, it’s taking in the forest atmosphere.  While there are many definitions, forest therapy is a type of ecotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic and holistic benefits of being among the trees.  

Join your certified guide, Sara Melvin, in a Guided Forest Therapy Walk through our beautiful campus trails.  You will partake in a slow-paced, mindful walk experience that opens the senses through a series of nature-connected invitations.
