Forest Bathing: September Sessions

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster presents Forest Bathing: Deepening Our Relationship with Nature with CCMNH Field Guide Carol Marcy.
 
The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History gives you a very special opportunity to deepen your relationship with nature through the environment of marsh, creek, forest, dunes and beach habitats. Join Carol Marcy on a guided walk where you will be shown how to pay attention in a new way, creating a sense of greater health, well-being and appreciation of the beauty in you and around you.
 
 The concept of forest bathing grew out of a practice in Japan called Shinrin-yoku that spread to China and Korea and now to the United States. Come swim in the living being of the forest. Drink in the smells. Feel the breeze on your skin. Hear the wind creating tree music. Soak up the warm healing rays of the sun. See the vast array of colors, textures and shapes of life around you all through a direct experience with Nature. This meditative practice is enhanced by guided meditations and fascinating facts drawn from scientific studies. By slowing down, connecting with awareness to the abundant life in and around you, this walk can be immensely healing. This experience helps you feel refreshed, calm and peaceful.
 
Carol Marcy has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and master’s degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and is a Certified Meditation teacher.
