But when was the last time you fully immersed all of your senses in nature? Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” has been practiced in Japan for decades as a public health initiative. As the practice gains popularity in the U.S., we are thrilled to be introducing a one-of-a-kind “bonsai bathing” program this May. Join certified nature and forest therapy guide Melanie Choukas-Bradley for a guided exercise in meditation, rejuvenation and contemplation among the nation’s premier bonsai collection. In the 2-hour program, Melanie will guide you through the visual, auditory, and interactive experience of shinrin-yoku. We currently have walks planned for 5/3 and 5/31.
