Mindfulness Walk at El Yunque-Anissa

DESCRIPTION

Nature Therapy Walk with a Guide is around two hours long with many invitations along the way. Forest Therapy Is A Research-Based Framework For Supporting Healing And Wellness Through Immersion In Forests And Other Natural Environments. It is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to “forest bathing.” Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition. We build on those benefits and look beyond, to what happens when people remember that we are a part of nature, not separate from it, and are related to all other beings in fundamental ways.

You will be guided by a certified Forest Therapy Guide. The cost of the walk includes your guide and snacks.
