Did you receive a thoughtful gift but you will never use it? Feel free to bring it in as prize of the prize table. Michelle Hubbard This activity is customized for adults with cognitive developmental disabilities.

Enjoy a 2-hour immersive and meditative forest bathing walk. We will slow down and connect our senses to the healing, stress-reducing beauty of the forest. We will slip away from our phones and revive our relationship with nature and ourselves via unique, experiential invitations. We will share what we notice with each other, incorporating our experiences into our memory to tap again when we may need them. We will re-enter the tame world, renewed and refreshed. Guests should wear boots/shoes, clothing/gear appropriate for weather. Walk will be held in the rain and snow, but not thunderstorms or negative temperatures. Please wear/bring mosquito/tick repellent and sunscreen if desired. Please bring water if you would like to have some available throughout the walk. Instructor David Motzenbecker founded Motz Studios Forest Bathing Experiences in 2018.
