DESCRIPTION:In our fast-paced\, digital world\, we often lose our connectio
 n to the natural environment. Forest Bathing\, inspired by the Japanese pra
 ctice of Shinrin-yoku\, is not a hike or a botanical study\, it is a guided
  sensory experience. Join us to slow down\, quiet the mind\, and "bathe" yo
 ur senses in the atmosphere of the forest. Research shows that just two hou
 rs of mindful nature connection can lower blood pressure\, reduce cortisol 
 levels\, and boost your immune system. Please dress for the weather and bri
 ng a small sit-pad or camp chair if you prefer not to sit on the ground.\n\
 nNote: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so o
 ur programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Participants
  are asked to pick the price that they can pay. By more clearly articulatin
 g our lower cost options\, we have removed the barrier that some may have f
 elt in making scholarship requests. When participants sign up at the higher
  price levels\, they help make the program more sustainable\n\nRefund Polic
 y\n\nRefunds (minus a $5 transaction fee) are given if you call or email at
  least three business days before a class begins. Full refunds will be give
