Join Huellas Latinas to enjoy a Forest Bathing Walk – Forest Therapy Walk.

Forest Bathing is inspired by the Japanese practice known as Shirin Yoku. It invites us to an immersion in nature where the only objective is to disconnect from daily stress, slow down the pace and appreciate the natural environment to revitalize the body, mind and spirit.

This is a space dedicated to exploring and strengthening our relationship with nature. In this workshop, we set ourselves several key objectives that will help us understand and appreciate the fundamental role that trees and nature play in our well-being and that of our communities. We will learn how trees and nature can contribute to improving our personal well-being. During the workshop, we will explore various ways to connect with nature and increase the comfort level of spending time outdoors. We will address the issues of urban trees, climate change and environmental justice.
