Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) Events
Event Description: Forest Bathing Walk Led By Certified Guide: Bill Hebbert
Shinrin Yoku is a Japanese meditative form of nature therapy that has been scientifically shown to benefit mental and physical health. The term translates to “taking in the forest atmosphere." Forest bathing is about being connected with nature. It involves immersing all your senses in a natural environment - frequently but not always a forested area - and experiencing the mindful Pleasure of Presence. The format involves structured periods of slow leisurely walking, sitting, standing, and sharing, all the while connecting with nature in a variety of ways through a series of experiential “invitations." When forest bathing, we take pleasure and delight in experiencing the natural world through our senses and explore our relationship with it through observation, imagination, and feeling.

Location: "Westabrook Trail" - Meet in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Milwaukee Riverfront at 4700 N Port Washington Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53212. Drive through the parking lot towards the river to meet the group.
