Forest Bathing Experience at Loyola

Forest Bathing, also known as Nature & Forest Therapy, is a slow meditative walk in nature that takes a holistic view to the physiological, mental, emotional, and psycho-spiritual benefits to be derived from an embodied contact with nature, and aims to engage humans through their senses, not their intellects. Forest Bathing can be viewed as an effective strategy to maintain and boost immune strength in human beings. The walk takes approximately 2.5 hours and requires no exceptional skill or physical exertion.

Enjoy this spiritually & emotionally enriching experience on the beautiful grounds of the Loyola Jesuit Center. RIch Collins will be the guide for this wonderful afternoon in nature.
