Forest Bathing and the Benefits of Nature Connection
Presented by Jeff Brogan of Maine Coast Explorers LLC
Forest Bathing, also known as “Shinrin-Yoku,” refers to the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. Join us for a lively discussion focusing on how changing our relationship with nature can increase our happiness and the health of our planet.
