Luminous Together Forest Bathing Walk (BIPOC-only)

Join us for a 2-hour Forest Bathing experience and reconnect with nature. Slow down, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in the forest. Guided by a certified forest therapist, you’ll explore mindful walking, sensory activities, and reflective moments. We will move through a series of invitations, which are simple, sensory practices that encourage the senses to come forward, as the thinking mind settles. Everything is optional and you are encouraged to follow the wisdom of your own body, heart, mind, and spirit.

BIPOC-only (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) Forest Bathing Walks are vital for creating safe, nurturing spaces where participants can connect with nature and each other without the pressures of navigating dominant culture. Historically, BIPOC communities have been excluded from outdoor spaces, facing barriers and discrimination that limit access to nature. Affinity spaces like these walks provide a restorative environment where shared experiences and cultural understanding are honored. By fostering a sense of belonging, these walks help to heal collective wounds, reclaim our relationship with the land, and empower participants to find peace and connection in nature.
