Join the 10.27 Healing Partnership and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy for our 4-week healing, consciousness building forest bathing series at the Frick Environmental Center. We will take 90 minute gentle walks throughout Frick Park while nurturing our connection to the natural world through meditative practices. The term “forest bathing” was coined in the 1980s in Japan, when Japan was grappling with the effects of stress and disconnect caused by the technology boom. Researchers identified that taking time away from technology and our busy modern lives and immersing ourselves deeply in nature had positive effects on mental, emotional, and physical health. If you feel disconnected from nature, yourself, or others, consider joining our community and participating in this forest bathing series. We hope you will leave feeling more refreshed, calmer, and more spiritually centered
