Forest Bathing at Grand Ravines North County Park

Join our guide Katie, founder of In Your Element, to explore the relaxing practice of guided Forest Bathing Shinrin-yoku and the beauty of Grand Ravines Park.  Our program begins with a brief introduction to the background and research of shinrin-yoku (translated in English as “forest bathing”), how it differs from a hike in the woods, and why it’s internationally recognized as an effective tool for natural stress release. From there, you’ll be guided in a unique shinrin-yoku experience while exploring the beautiful forests and meadows of Grand Ravines; helping you relax, reconnect, and experience your time outdoors in a new way.  Our program ends with a special wild foraged tea ceremony in the forest, offering you new tastes and nourishment from nature. Meet at the Lodge at Grand Ravines North park, overlooking the Grand River.
