BEE KIND Forest Bathing Walk

BEE KIND Forest Bathing Walk
Sunday, May 21st  |  9 AM to 12 PM
Location: North Campus (111 Lower Lake Road, Highlands NC 28741)

Join Robin Hancock of Renewal by Nature for a forest bathing walk through the Highlands Botanical Garden. This rather intense, yet relaxed, practice renews us in a way that allows our inner peace and health to radiate beyond the Forest Therapy walk and positively impact our day to day experiences. In addition to the psychological and emotional benefits, Forest Therapy has a positive impact on human physiology in the form of improved biometric measures and function.

Each walk is 3 hours in length, and consists of a series of invitations crafted to encourage the participants to connect with nature through their senses. Events are rain or shine, unless the weather is threatening.

Mental health awareness starts with kindess! This event is being held as part of BEE KIND, an initiative from the Counseling Center of Highlands and Highlands-Cashiers Health Foundation to raise awareness about the month of May as Mental Health Awareness Month.

The Highlands Botanical Garden is part of the Highlands Biological Station, a multi-campus center of Western Carolina University.

The total cost of this program is $45/ person, however, the Highlands Biological Foundation is able to cover $25/person to make this program as accessible as possible for our community members. If you would like to cover the total cost of the program for your registration, feel free to make a $25/person donation along with your required $20/person program fee.
