Boost your wellBEing with a mindful woodland walk along the Hapgood Wright Town Forest Thoreau-Emerson Amble in beautiful Concord, MA! 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!

BWBH Wellness Walks are led by founder and lifelong friend of trees, Lara Wilson

NOTE CHANGE IN LOCATION: Due to high water at White Pond, the August 20th Wellness Walk will now take place at the Hapgood Wright Town Forest on the path around the Fairyland Pond. Trail entrance and easy parking across from the CCHS driveway at 500 Walden Street, Concord, MA.
