Connect with kindred spirits as you venture into the forest and capture nature through art.
What To Expect
Join this walk meant to build community of likeminded individuals and enjoy the pleasures of nature.
We will start with a gentle guided meditation to fully immerse in the landscape, then gather around Baxter Woods’ lovely outdoor classroom to create a welcoming painting space. This is a space to chat, share ideas and findings, play with art, and enjoy the outdoors!
Your experience will be led by a Forest Therapy Guide, but this is a casual, social event without the structure of a forest bathing experience, or teaching elements of a creative workshop. View our offerings for guided Forest Bathing walks and creative workshops.
