Join a nature and forest therapy guide in a two-hour program that encourages participants to slow down and to take in the National Arboretum through all their senses. Forest bathing, or shinrin yoku, is the simple practice of taking in the woods through the senses for health benefits.

The walk includes three "invitations," prompting participants to reflect on a particular aspect of the natural world, giving them time to wander and meditate throughout the garden collection. The walk ends with a modified tea ceremony of small pre-packaged snacks.
