What's On in Lyme

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a guided forest bathing session. Renew your connection with yourself and the Earth as we tap into nature's rhythms and welcome the season of spring—a time to relax, renew, and ground for the season ahead. During our time together, enjoy a gentle mindful movement sequence, a spring equinox meditation, and invitations to connect with nature along the way. The experience concludes with tea together. The walk is about 1 mile over easy terrain. Forest bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku - taking in the forest atmosphere. As a growing global wellness movement, it is backed by nearly 40 years of scientific research on the holistic benefits of immersing yourself in nature. These benefits include reduced stress and blood pressure, increased creativity and focus, improved mood and sleep, and a boost to immune functions. In addition to the health benefits, this practice offers a pathway of reconnection to our Earth, restoring our relationship with the natural world for the well-being of all.
