July 21, 2021 6:30-9:30 – Forest Bathing with Experience Journeys
Let’s sit in the sun, open our ears and hearts, and breathe into the rhythm of the river and woods. We can reconnect with life larger than ourselves and return to a wholesome presence.
Walks include: Nourishing plant based snack & tea
