Family Forest Therapy Walk

Sunday, June 29, 2025 @ 1:00 PM

Baltimore Woods Nature Center, 4007 Bishop Hill Rd, Marcellus, NY 13108

Forest Therapy/Shinrin Yoku is a chance to be with nature, perhaps in a different way then you are used to. This is not a hike - instead, we will saunter and, at times, sit during the walk. June Leo-Randazzo is a ANFT Certified Forest Therapy Guide who will offer you and your children invitations which help you to be more aware of your senses (sight, smell, sound, touch, imagination, etc) to slow down and connect with the wonders of nature. There is no right or wrong way to participate in the invitations. We will simply experience the treasures that can be found in nature through this playful, interactive, and mindful experience.

Adults, you may find your inner child while you enjoy time with your family and others in the forest. You will even have a chance to share with others what you are noticing in any way that you would like to (words, movement, gestures, and even silence). During our times of sharing, we will all practice listening with our full attention to whomever is sharing (no worries if young children need to move around, as all are welcome). The walk ends with a tea ceremony with wildcrafted tea foraged from the area, snacks, and juice for the children ending this 2-hour walk. 

Registrations for this program closes at 3pm on Wednesday, June 25.

More details: This walk is for ages 5 and up. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. You will be sent information the night prior to the walk on where to park and meet on the day of the walk. The walk will take place in rain.
