Find out more information at Rooted Heart. Nature Connection Guided Forest Therapy sessions will be provided to help participants connect more deeply with the natural world. Also known as 'shinrin-yoku' or 'forest bathing', this practice invites you to let the healing properties of the forest wash over you by calling you to notice your senses, move slowly, explore your own unique connection journey, and be supported by a group atmosphere of openness and respectful listening. Nature connection can also be cultivated through personal time spent on the trails, in a hammock, swimming in Cade Lake or paddling its waters. Self Connection Guided practices will include morning meditation, grounding and gentle yoga flows, various restorative modalities, and breathwork. Truly accessible to all levels, instruction is provided from the perspective of helping participants turn inwards and cultivate self-care.
