Nature Therapy Along the Seashore

Enjoy a guided immersion into nature’s healing embrace. Rejuvenate mind, body, and soul through deep nature connection. Shinrin-Yoku is a Japanese form of nature therapy that immerses participants in natural areas to promote health and wellness. Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits associated with nature immersion practices. This is a fun, relaxing way to shed stress, connect with your soul, and give your body the things it needs to feel happy and healthy. This walk is suitable for anyone who can walk 2-3 miles, ages 10 and up. Participants need to dress appropriately to match the weather conditions. Please bring a water bottle, sun protection, bug spray, and anything else you need to be comfortable. The duration of the walk will span approximately 3 hours and engage participants in a series of sensory immersions and conclude with a tea ceremony of foraged plants. Please note: Program fee does not include site admission fee.
