Event Description

Step away from the constant demands and distractions of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beauty of the redwood forest at Chaminade Resort & Spa on October 17, from 10 AM–1 PM. Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, this three-hour guided Forest Therapy experience invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and practice intentionally directing your attention toward the natural world. Through gentle sensory invitations, moments of stillness, and quiet reflection, discover how time in nature can help restore your ability to focus, ease stress, and support nervous system regulation. This is not a hike, but an opportunity to rest, reconnect, and experience the forest in a new way, leaving you with simple practices to carry a greater sense of calm, clarity, and connection into everyday life.
