On June 3rd, visit with Forest Therapy Guide Brynne Maguire. During the Arbor day festivities you can explore the urban forest of Winnipeg, learn about forestry and arbor care and, from Boreal Fix, share in a selection of sensory activities to invite participants to connect with nature. For adults, (ages 12+) a public Intro to Forest Bathing walk will be offered 10:30-11:30 and 2:30-3:30 and family friendly activities will be hosted throughout the day.

Forest Bathing is the practice of mindfulness in a forest setting, fully immersing oneself in the surroundings and using mindfulness prompts to promote relaxation. The 60 minute workshops invite participants to learn about the art of forest bathing and its benefits for mind, body, and spirit. In a virtual setting join with others looking to explore the forest in a new way. Participants will learn about the origins, science behind and practise of forest bathing and be guided through a series of sensory invitations followed by a discussion on taking the practice of forest bathing on your next outdoor adventure
