Forest Bathing

Breathe, slow down, and reconnect with nature. Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Indy Lockhart of Rooted Presence for a guided forest bathing session in the Metolius Preserve. Forest bathing is a gentle, sensory experience that invites you to pause, notice, and restore your well-being in the beauty of the natural world. We’ll begin with a guided meditation deepening into each of the senses, then you’ll be led through a series of invitations that offer the opportunity for deeper relaxation and connection with ourselves and the earth. We will come together for optional sharing and close the experience with wildcrafted tea. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.
