Louisiana Master Naturalists of Greater New Orleans

Join us for a relaxing Forest Therapy walk with Nadine Phillips, certified Forest Therapy Guide in training with the International Nature and Forest Therapy Alliance (INFTA). Deeply rooted in the Japanese concept of Shinrin-yoku, or “forest-air bathing”, Forest Therapy is an evidence-based public health practice considered to be a natural remedy to reduce stress and a pathway to a happier, healthier, and more rewarding life. Guided Forest Therapy walks combine a specific blend of complementary sensory, physical, and mental exercises in suitable forest surroundings. This inviting way of immersing our senses in the atmosphere of the forest is backed by significant medical and scientific research, and the plethora of health benefits are wide- reaching. The event will proceed even in rainy weather, however, if it is necessary to cancel due to inclement weather, you will be notified that morning by 10:00 a.m. Space will be limited. Reservations are required. Members $10; non-members $15.
