Intro to Mindfulness and Forest Bathing

CLARION COUNTY PARK 9AM

Join our introductory mindfulness meditation workshop and discover the transformative power of present-moment awareness. An introduction to mindfulness meditation and ‘forest bathing’. This workshop will provide practical tools that can be applied immediately in life or at work.

If you’re tired of the same old, same old, this experience will help you get off autopilot and cultivate inner strength, resilience, and well-being.

Jonathan Height, in his book, the Happiness Hypothesis, says this: Suppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment. Would you take it? Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory. Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing. Now, would you take it? The pill exists. It is meditation.

Studies have found that “forest bathing” (Shinrin-yoku) has positive physiological effects, such as blood pressure reduction, improvement of autonomic and immune functions, as well as psychological effects of alleviating depression and improving mental health.
