Join Cultured Forest and a small community of outdoors and nature enthusiasts for limited engagement interactive video conference workshop discussing how to stay connected to nature while feeling stuck indoors for long periods of time. You will join a community of nature-lovers online and share photos of moments in the outdoors, relax with nature-centered guided meditation and discuss ways to set-up your home as a place of refuge. We will start with an educational section on the benefits of nature connection as seen in practicing the Japanese Shinrin-Yoku or "Forest Bathing". We'll then teach you how to bring this wellness practice into your home with creative projects and will even write Haiku poems. We'll promote an open, nonjudgemental community for greater connection, calm and peace during a difficult time in history.
