It can be difficult to describe that expansive summer feeling on warm evenings, during this short-lived but dearly loved season in Montreal. In balmy air, with the sun slowly moving towards the horizon… perhaps you’re gifted with a “magic hour” and your environment is awash in a peachy-rose glow… perhaps the light is filtering through the leaves of neighbourhood trees in dancing speckles (there’s a word in Japanese for this, “komorebi)... or perhaps it’s something less palpable, and is truly just this - a feeling.

A forest bathing walk is a wonderful opportunity to explore this summer feeling - in the evening.

Forest bathing, founded on the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, is - among many things - curious about just this: exploring ways to see, sense, feel, and experience our animate natural surroundings in new ways, and perhaps forge new or strengthened connections with our earth, ourselves, and one another.

This will be a slow and immersive experience in nature, centred on experiencing your surroundings, the beings therein, the elements, and the present moment in numerous ways. It is in natural environments that our nervous systems, minds, and bodies can truly rest and be restored, so I invite you to experience these benefits in perhaps a different way.

No prior experience or knowledge is required, simply an open mind and good footwear!

The duration will be 3 hours, and the price is sliding scale, $20-40. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, so please message me if the cost presents a barrier for you.

Due to Covid-19 there will be a maximum of 8 participants and social distancing will be maintained for its duration.
