Grateful Forest: A Gathering of Stillness and Renewal
November 28, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Suggested Contribution: $5–$45 (pay what you can)
The day after Thanksgiving, step away from the busyness of the season and into the quiet abundance of the natural world. This mindful experience invites you to slow down, awaken your senses, and connect with nature in a meaningful and memorable way.
Rooted in shinrin-yoku—the Japanese practice of “forest bathing”—this gentle immersion includes guided invitations and a short meditation to help you engage with nature through all your senses, including intuition and imagination. The experience includes periods of sitting, exploration, and slow walking over short distances on hilly terrain.
Grateful Forest is offered in partnership with Amanda Kenyon, Nature Therapy & Meditation Guide. Past participants have described Amanda’s immersions as “peaceful, gentle, and joyful,” “magical and transformative,” and “profoundly rejuvenating.”
Join us for a special opportunity to rest, reflect, and reconnect with gratitude for all that nature provides.
