SUMMARY:Politics & Prose: WALKING TOUR: A Magical Spring Forest Bathing Walk at Tregaron Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Join Melanie Choukas-Bradley\, author of Wild Walking—A Guide to Forest Bathing Through the Seasons\, The Joy of Forest Bathing\, A Year in Rock Creek Park\, and several other nature books for a magical spring forest bathing walk through the enchanting Tregaron Conservancy\, a woodland garden tucked away in the midst of northwest Washington that has been restored and stewarded by a non-profit organization since 2006. We will meander under tall trees in autumn glory\, cross picturesque bridges over musical streams\, and climb stone steps through a century-old cultivated and wild woodland landscape reminiscent of “the secret garden.”  \nShinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, began in the 1980s in Japan and it is rooted in the traditional Japanese reverence for nature. Forest bathing is a mindfulness practice akin to meditation\, yoga and tai chi that involves tuning in to the beauty and wonder of your natural surroundings with all of your senses.  \nSign Up Here.
