Forest Bathing at Waterloo Greenway in Austin, Texas

  • 1111 Red River Street Austin, TX, 78701 United States (map)

Join Cultured Forest for an introduction to guided Forest Bathing in Waterloo Park in Austin. This session will be led by our Founder Brooke Mellen who has been featured in Vogue and WSJ Magazine. She trained with Dr. Qing Li and certified in Forest Medicine in Japan.

Forest Bathing is based on a Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku that involves connecting with nature by “Bathing in the Forest Atmosphere”. Studies show time in nature lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity and reduces stress. In this activity, you will indulge with fellow nature appreciators in relaxing meditation and forest therapy in a guided outdoor class. Plan to appreciate the trees and natural settings of the park, while learning activities that allow you to better connect with nature through mindfulness, even in Urban settings. Leave feeling centered, connected and more at peace. We are excited to end this session with a tea ceremony and snacks.

Wear comfortable shoes, sun protection and we recommend bringing a bottle of water.
