As spring awakens the earth and the days stretch longer with golden light, we’re called to step outside, breathe deeply, and return to the gentle rhythm of nature. This is a sacred invitation to slow down, shake off the rush of daily life, and immerse yourself in the quiet magic of the forest. Join us for an evening of forest bathing and tea with the trees—a time to be nourished by the land, to connect with spiritual community, and to wind down in harmony with the natural world.

Forest bathing, or "Shinrin-yoku," is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in a forest environment to enhance well-being. It encourages individuals to engage with nature using all their senses—sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste.

The practice helps reduce stress, improve mood, boost immunity, and enhance overall mental and physical health. It encourages a deep sense of connection to the natural world, promoting mindfulness and relaxation.
