Forest Bathing in The Thain Family Forest at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, TX led by Cultured Forest

Join Cultured Forest at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center for a small group Forest Bathing event in Austin, Texas. Learn about the history of Shinrin-Yoku or “Forest Bathing” while mindfully observing the native gardens and local trees in one of our favorite botanical gardens in Central Texas. We will guide you through nature inspired meditation and highlight several calming spaces within the Center for your enjoyment and well-being.

You will enjoy community with like-minded nature appreciators, while finding peace by engaging your senses in your surroundings. The session will include a tea tasting. You can then wander the many trails within the park at your leisure using the mindfulness skills you have learned to enhance your nature connection experience.
