9:30am Forest Therapy with Nancy
Location: Grand Maple Hall
Based on Japanese Forest Bathing, forest therapy has wholistic health benefits: mental,
emotional, physical, and spiritual. A walk in the woods in a group with a guide offers
inspiration, energy, and a sense of well-being.
The 1.5-hour experience begins with an orientation to the area followed by a brief
meditation, and then two brief exercises, or nature-based invitations, with suggestions
that involve the senses. Such as “walk as far as the bend in the trail ahead, make
yourself comfortable, and sense where the wind touches your body” After each exercise
we will have time forconversation. At the end we will share tea. I can promise you will
feel lighter and more relaxed after our time together.
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wright is an ordained Protestant clergywoman who has served in a
variety of churchband ecumenical settings in New York City, Seattle, and Burlington, VT.
She has a strong focus on religion and ecology and helps congregations to advocate for
