Mindful Garden Walk: Rest & Reconnect – International Forest Bathing Day

Come celebrate International Forest Bathing Day with Blue Jay Botanicals at Adair Gardens Flower Farm! Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and experience the healing benefits of forest bathing.

Join us for a morning of mindfulness, relaxation, and connection with the natural world. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul in our serene garden setting.

What to expect on the walk:

On this walk Certified Forest Bathing Guide, Cherianne Cybulskie, will lead you on an immersive experience in nature. This is not a hike or a workout, we stop and pause often.

Throughout the walk, you’ll experience sensory-based invitations, engaging with nature through curiosity, sight, hearing, and touch. The guide periodically regroups, offering a relaxed space for sharing personal insights or stories from your explorations, with no pressure to speak if you prefer to enjoy the collective experience.

The walk concludes with a forest tea prepared by a common plant local to the region, along with a light snack.

Whether you’re wanting to try something new, seeking stress relief, navigating grief, or everything above, under and in between – this walk provides a gentle space for you to find solace in nature. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!

Cost: $35.00 CAD + online processing fees

Let’s make an impact together:

In celebration of Earth Day, $5.00 of each ticket sale will be donated to Leeds and Grenville Interval House. You are invited to add an extra donation when registering.

What You’ll Need for the Walk:

– Water bottle
– Closed toe shoes or boots
– Appropriate clothing for the weather – forest bathing walks take place rain or shine! (hat and mitts for colder mornings, long pants, rain gear). Our walk is slow paced so it is important to wear a few layers of clothing so you are not cold/wet as this can make it harder to fully connect to the experience
– Something to sit on and get comfortable with such as a yoga mat and/or blanket. At times you may be invited to sit or lie on the ground (completely optional!)
*If the walk has to be cancelled due to inclement weather, a refund will be provided.
