Join us for a special event in partnership with Brandy Case Haub, owner of Intertwined: Nature + Forest Therapy. Brandy is a Certified Forest Therapy Guide, and will offer a 2-hour forest therapy walk (sometimes referred to as forest bathing!) on Friday, Dec 2 from 1-3PM.
Forest bathing boosts immunity, lowers blood pressure and stress hormones, prevents and relieves stress and anxiety, and increases cognitive functioning. Guided forest bathing walks are appropriate for all ages and abilities: less than a ½ mile is covered on each walk. Guides use techniques to support participants in entering a state of embodied awareness, moving through a series of “invitations” to support participants in tuning into each of their senses, allowing participants to move into a liminal space, and experience resulting wellness benefits.
Suggested donation is $20 but any amount accepted.
This event will be held at Walnut Woods Park, (3155 Walnut Woods Dr, West Des Moines, IA 50265). The exact meeting location for the walk will be sent in a follow up email.
