Shinrin-Yoku: Forest Bathing for All Ages (FRENCH)

Join us for a Forest Bathing experience led in French by certified Forest Therapy Guide Nadia Frost from Wanderoots. This experience is specially designed for families with children aged 7 and up—and all other ages are welcome to join as well. Whether you're new to forest bathing or returning for another dose of nature's medicine, you'll be gently guided through a series of invitations to connect with the forest in a meaningful and playful way.

What to Expect:

• No prior experience is needed
• A slow, mindful walk through the forest
• Guided sensory activities to deepen your connection with nature
• Space for quiet reflection and shared moments
• A peaceful tea ceremony to close the experience

Preparation:

Wear layered clothing and dress for colder than the forecasted weather. The event is rain or shine, and forest bathing requires our bodies to move at a slower pace, so we will not be creating as much body heat to keep us warm.

• Ensure you and your child(ren) are dressed comfortably and appropriately for the weather.
• Bring a water bottle and an open mind!

Today, Nadia is a practicing psychotherapist and certified forest therapy guide. She has been leading groups in local parks, helping people reconnect with their senses and find calm through nature.
