have you heard of the japanese term shinrin-yoku?  translated to english it means “forest bathing”. simply put, it’s taking in the forest atmosphere.  while there are many definitions, forest therapy is a type of ecotherapy that focuses on the therapeutic and holistic benefits of being among the trees.  

join your certified guide, sara melvin, in a guided forest therapy walk through our beautiful campus trails.  you will partake in a slow-paced, mindful walk experience that opens the senses through a series of nature-connected invitations.
