A SUMMER GATHERING FOR WOMEN IN MEDICINE : Forest bathing with EcoWisdom
Saturday, July 22, 2023 • 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. | Foothill Regional Park • 1351 Arata Lane, Windsor, CA
Relax with your medical colleagues during a guided forest bathing experience in beautiful Foothill Regional Park. Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.” Forest bathing uses mindfulness and meditation techniques to open all five senses and connect with nature as a healing tool. Participants are guided on how to slow down, disconnect from technology, and take a break from life’s stressors.
This SMLMA-sponsored gathering will be led by Jenny Harrow-Keeler, a certified nature therapy guide and mindfulness teacher with EcoWisdom Wellness. Her intention is to help participants open the gift of their lives through the healing power of nature.

Space is limited to 15. Reserve your place today.
No cost to SMLMA members.
