Forest Bathing in Concord

  • White Pond Reservation 100 Shore Drive Concord, MA 01742 (map)

Feel good to walk in the woods? Join us to enhance our wellBeing with socially-distant Mindful Wellness Walks in Concord this spring. BWBH’s Wellness Walks are based on the principles of Forest Bathing, or shinrin yoku, a Japanese practice of intentionally taking in the natural environment with all our senses.

As Japanese doctor and researcher, Qing Li, writes in his book, Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness, “spending time in a forest can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and anger; strengthen the immune system; improve cardiovascular and metabolic health; and boost overall well-being” (Mind & Body, Aug 20, 2018). Mindful Wellness Walks also benefit the trees and our earth!

Location: White Pond Reservation Trails - meet at the Concord Conservation Land steps.
