Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in the restorative beauty of nature during Guided Forest Therapy for Adults at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens.
Join Amanda Essinger, IMFT-S, LPCC, RPT™, licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist and ANFT-Certified Forest Therapy Guide, for a two-hour guided experience on the estate grounds. Programs will take place:
These invitations are intentionally curated to be simple, sensory, and open to infinite interpretations and experiences. After each invitation, participants are offered a space to share these experiences among the group. As the time together concludes, the program traditionally ends with sharing tea and camaraderie while reflecting on the experience, perhaps taking in what could be incorporated into our daily lives.
It is recommended participants wear comfortable, protective clothing suitable for the environment and weather conditions. Participants are encouraged to bring a rain jacket, water, and comfortable outdoor seating such as a folding chair, blanket, etc.
Forest Therapy (also known as “forest bathing”) is a research-backed wellness practice rooted in the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku. Through guided invitations, mindful walking, and quiet reflection, participants experience the calming and restorative effects of nature while deepening their sense of connection to the environment.
