Did you know that Spiritual Life Leader, Melanie Nord, is also trained in the art of Shinrin-Yoku/Forest Bathing? In this type of eco-therapy, mindfulness and our six senses (yes, six) are used to fully embrace the meditative and healing properties the Earth has to offer us.

Join Melanie in a lesson on the practice of Shinrin Yoku at 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 23. Attendees will start with a lesson on this form of eco-therapy in the Courtyard (or weather-permitting, Kansas Room) before heading to the outdoor area by the Village Entrance. We'll use our six senses (yes, six) to soak in all that our natural world has to offer as a way to acknowledge Earth Day/Week.
